    I have been to several receivers now that find in necessary to "help" me unstrap. I don't know if they mean well or are just too impatient to let me do it, but it drives me nuts. They usually end up pulling from the wrong side and I windup with a tangled ball of straps when they are done. Anybody else run into this?

    little helpers. They show up at the dangest times and the dangest places, except when they would come in handy.

    It doesn't really bother me. Even if I have to redo things it is faster than starting from scratch. If they help fold tarps, they have made a friend for life.

    Remember, it is the thought that counts.

    See, it never ends up being faster for me. I always pull my straps strait out so it's easier to roll them. If I have time, I pull them one at a time and roll them. When they help me, I have to spend time untangling them and doing unnecessary laps around my truck.
