    Thinking of ordering a set of tarps of my own since they're the only portion of my load securement I don't own outright, but it's been a while since I was in the market for any. Not sure who is the most reputable company these days to deal with - dealt a lot with Dothan back in my Arrow days.

    Opinions? Thinking of going back to a three piece lumber set instead of carrying 2pc lumbers and 2pc steels as I have limited space on this tractor for equipment. Would prefer to deal with a company located in the SE or Chicago/IN/OH area due to my most common running lanes.

    lumber tarps with 4 foot drops and 4 foot skirts was my favorite, just saying.

    Ones I had were made in Denver and for the life of me cannot find them any more.

    I have Shur-Co's and TRS industries. I like the Shur-Co's better. I had a bad experience with TRS repairing some tarps.

    I believe they are both No. Dak companies though

    There's a tarp shop at Lake Station, Indiana. Don't know how much they charge, but they're in your area.

    Autocar, do they use the bigger d-rings? I like to run my hook thru the ring and take both hooks down to the rub rail. I have a couple of tarps from TRS but they use the smaller rings and it sucks trying to get the hooks thru them.
