    Unfortunately, can’t put straps over those loads. All kinds of fuel and oil lines on the outside of those engines. Not to mention the electronic boxes and sharp pointy things.

    Best part about that tarp job is u got the seams all lined up perfectly. Makes it look like 1 tarp. I try to do the same , makes it look professional. Nice work

    That picture was after about 800 miles, just before taking them off. Broker wanted a picture for some reason. Those are 8 foot drops.

    I actually use plain rope. That has about 12 or 16 bungees on it. Use them to pin the corners and ends. The rest is all rope. The trailer does have hooks, that is nice. Before this trailer, I used “S” hooks under the rail. Bought a box of like 250 of them for $30.00.

    Here’s one that is not so pretty.

    This is what’s under them. 3 CNC’s with controllers

    That day actually truthfully sucked. I was hauling off a mans life. 25 years he was in business, then health related financial problems and the equipment was auctioned off for bankruptcy.
