    What is tarp pay, exactly? I would assume it's pay for setting the tarp up on a flatbed, but maybe I'm wrong?

    Tarp pay is in reference to a Flat bed trailer.

    You have noticed a flatbed trailer with a tarp over the load.
    Well a driver gets paid extra to cover that load up with a tarp.
    Not a easy thing to do at times. Many factors play into this such as wind.

    Pay? LOL! Most companys rape the driver on this.
    Perhaps we should call it Tarp Donation Time :smt043
