I carry 2 14 foot drops with 12 foot flaps, and 2 8 foot drop center tarps.
Another Canadian driver, cke, kylefitzy and 2 others Thank this. -
I use what I got. I mean I've been heavily thinking about getting a more custom tarp set but.
I just got 4 8-ft drops with flap about 24 ft long. Maybe.
It ain't fun but with those four tarps I can cover just about anything. Believe me I found out the hard way.
Also I have like a little smoke tarp too for the piddly little crates and whatnot that usually go with a bigger machine. Or a parts box or whatever.D.Tibbitt, Another Canadian driver, cke and 2 others Thank this. -
28x28 with flap and never enough D rings cover most everything I haul. 18x20 and a smoke tarp cover the little stuff.
Another Canadian driver, FerrissWheel, cke and 2 others Thank this. -
Tarping a double drop? Ridiculous! Preposterous! Unheard of!
That was tarpped at one point

I’ve been told nylon d-rings are the way to go.
Another Canadian driver and FerrissWheel Thank this. -
Fortunately I'll get reimbursed for it. It's just I was on the fence about doing it. But we do get enough tarp loads. So I'm leaning towards specing them out.Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -
FerrissWheel and Another Canadian driver Thank this.
