I'm finding though looking stuff up while working isn't as easy as I thought it would be. So far I find that most loads do not have much information on what's actually being transported and no rate offer typically. They'll say something about whether or not tarps are needed and the size of the tarp which I am not familiar with. For instance, they'll say needs 4' tarps? Not sure what that means.
Haven't done much tarping in my flatbed journey which hasn't been much.
Seems like I'm learning something every day as far as flatbed stuff is concerned that is.Coffey Thanks this. -
You can also enter in the search criteria like 3 trailer choices
I have a conestoga so I pick that plus flat plus flat with air ride
The tarp thing is sometimes they want at least the front of the load covered or maybe the top etc
I don’t tarp but you’ll see guys with part of it covered and I assume it’s the shippers don’t want crud getting inside say a pipe type load
Or possibly coils?Last edited: Oct 6, 2021
