    It’s the only way to roll. Some would say... 516A5C45-4653-417A-9034-5595A06B7ADA.jpeg 2B53D15B-19B8-402F-902B-257F8866A7BA.jpeg 3AA9BEF7-2CCF-43A0-8554-98C40BC8EB8F.jpeg 7EDB53FA-3AD9-43BA-A1BB-51565F7105CD.jpeg 7C50E8F4-D234-4A22-8E99-6D16DB2564B1.jpeg 6644B2B0-BED8-417D-902A-A29DD10859C6.jpeg F4FA9D6F-CAE0-45D8-B1F7-7BE88E08BD03.jpeg

    I haul iron pipe for a shipper, no tarp. Pays really good.

    A. No claims ever.
    B. Saves at least 45 minutes tarping and untarping
    C. It's too cold, dirty, heavy, wet, and expensive to be tarping anything.

    Merry Christmas!

    Yes. I have two long pieces (75’ or so) for doing the sides. 2-3 30’ pieces for lacing the ends of engines mostly. Then a bunch of 10-15’ long pieces. They work for the ends and for cleaning up weird spots on “more interesting” loads.

    like the front of this monstrosity. 5001085D-5FFD-42E2-9266-939C5C14827E.jpeg D1517722-BBED-4443-8380-F30DFF09CE8B.jpeg F58B4CE3-874B-49F3-A583-98603CDC25FB.jpeg
