Running straps over tarps

It’s a natural law that, in general, a woman’s butt gets bigger with age, and a man’s gets smaller. From behind, my dad looked like a frog wearing blue jeans.

I’m getting to that point myself. Thirty-three inches at the belt line, and not much more than that around my buttocks. I spend all day hiking up my pants.

Got a solution, though. My wife says I look cute in my bib overalls.

 

I more than understand, I'm in the same boat. It was just a joke.

 

At my company, there are a lot of shippers we have that pre load our trailers and throw tarps over securing the corners. I'll throw straps over the tarp because I'm not wasting time taking the tarp off and throwing it back over, but I'll still bungee down the tarp.

I'll also throw a few straps over tarps on loads with uneven height to keep the tarp from flapping and getting damaged.

The only time I really seen a tarp just thrown over and strapped with no bungees is from hot shot truck drivers.

 

Well would you throw $50 dollars worth of bungees on a tarp you bought at Home Depot for $10?

 

I once seen a driver have 4 Harbor Freight looking tarps on his load. They weren't even unfolded. Just one on top of each pallet strapped down with one strap each. It amazes me at how DOT and state troopers never bat an eye at these people.
