Yes. The last time through. Was like 75 or 76K. Right at mm 252 to 256. That's that meadow right in front of Elk. Moved me over a 1/3 of a lane. Think was gusts to 60mph.
What if it Snows?

Sometimes it's a ##### to tarp. The few times I have had to tarp it's usually been oddball equipment, requiring more time to pad the load to protect the tarp from sharp edges than to actually tarp the load.
As another forum member mentioned, if the load was already wet when you applied tarps you should take pictures and make sure you note on the BOL and packing list something like "shipper required me to tarp the load outside in a downpour". The one time I hauled a load of lumber that "required" tarps, the shipper required me to go outside to tarp it. I noted that on my BOL before moving out of the dock. At first they wouldn't sign it, so I said "Take it off my deck.". They signed it.
Funny thing, I delivered that load in a downpour and the receiver put pallets of lumber out in the yard in the rain. Often brokers put "tarps required" on every load, even if it isn't required OR a really BAD idea. I took a broker load of hazmat, flammable totes. Tarps required. Stupid right? Let's cover the packing labels AND trap flammable fumes under a tarp....rrriiiigghhhttt. The shipper thought I was nuts when I asked if the load had to be tarped.speedyk, Trucker61016, stwik and 3 others Thank this. -

I hate loads like that. When you catch me standing inside the Petro store looking clueless at a handful of tarp straps Now would be a good time to update n something.Trucker61016, WesternPlains and Lepton1 Thank this. -
I figured if ever I were to haul a skate board? I would get me a curtain side. It would make tarping so much easier.

Epic food in that place. It's about as great a place to get stuck as any.
They Swiss steak last time I went through. It was like -10, nice 40 to 60 gusts. So I get this extra big to go box with steak, potatoes, GRAVY, and Brussel sprouts, for two meals.
Ate the whole thing before I got out of the parking lot.Lepton1, InTooDeep and Cattleman84 Thank this. -
