    Yeah the red ones have drops. They are lumber. The black are steel, but some are small. Might be smoke tarps. They also make a small tarp for coils, but I always used steel tarps.

    Brand new lumber tarps sell for around $800 to a $1000 for the pair. Steel tarps sell for $600 to $800. Coil bags sell for around $300 & I can get smokes for $75

    Just depends on the brand, size, & material used.


    Where do you live. I might be interested in buying them!

    My dad's bestfriend is a trucker, but he doesn't know english and doesnt know what they're called. He just told me they're used for flatbeds and sell them and he'll go 50/50 with me so I can get money to get my first car, i'm only 18, what do I look like stealing these off a truck? i could barely pick one up, let alone 4. So please don't go assuming about things that don't concern you.

    If this were true he would know what a tarp is, this is basic knowledge for a driver. Who's name is stenciled in them. I''ll give you 20 bucks meet me at the sheriff station.

    As soon as you brought your goods on a public forum and tryed to sell them it became anyone who happens to read this concern. So if you are being truthful and they belong to a driver then they should be able to tell you what they were. Please dont bring your stolen items on here and try to sell them. Its hard enough out there for us drivers before someone gets thier stuff stolen and has to see it going down the road on someone elses truck.
