    Youre the kind of person that replies "all the way to the end" when someone asks "how long is this back up"? Aren't you?

    it takes me about 10 mins to tarp a coil. iv had other loads that take up the whole trailer and it takes me about an hour or so.

    Depends on the load. A good easy load 15 minute a crappy uneven load about 40 minutes. I will and have made pleny of forklift drivers break down a load and load the trailer the way i want it for ease of tarping even though they had it set up a diffrent way.

    it depends on your Midi-chlorian count. the higher it is the more force you can use on your tarps. This one guy named Luke could lift his while balancing on one foot while doing some other unquestionable things with a little green guy.
