So how do you tarp during winter when tarp is frozen?

I run the northeast all winter tarping nearly every day. For months it doesn’t get above freezing temperatures to thaw anything out, and I sure don’t have a heated shop to park in. Like someone else said, you just have to be patient and deal with it. Tarps won’t roll up nearly as neat when they’re cold with ice, but you can still make it work. Main thing is to dress warm enough and have some very good waterproof gloves.

 

Agree, gloves are the key to anything in the winter, good gloves, good warm footwear and a decent hat, keeping your extremities warm is the key. Not much to say about the tarping thing, I usually try not to do it in the winter.....lol

 

Ain't this the 100k$ dude? I'd just spend 30k$ on a Conestoga.

It's like a portable building. Keep your tarps nice and dry inside, and only book shorter tarped loads.

Get loaded, close it up, get inside, tarp. Easy peasy

 

Then you have to get a snow rake and find a forklift or something to pick you up to scrape off all the snow every time you get more than an inch or so. No thanks. I don’t enjoy that any more than tarping lol.

Also after a freezing rain you got a big mess with 2 inches of solid ice up there. No easy peasy opening and shutting then.

 

just drive around til it falls off and hits a car and you go to jail- then you won’t have to worry about tarping

Ya it’s tempting. If you google Jessica’s law New Hampshire you’ll see why I don’t though. They really enforce that one here.
