    Honestly? For me personally, I like making the tarp uniform and even, but you have to answer these questions at the end of the day:

    1 - Is the load completely covered?
    2 - Will it get wet when I go down the road?
    3 - Will the tarp get cut by the load underneath it, i.e. is it properly protected?

    If these are fulfilled, it doesn't really matter how it looks.

    I agree. This load required the 4 skids to be tarped. With the pallets being uneven height and the pipe pushed up against the pallet on one side, I couldn't figure a better way.

    Personally I like to look good going down the road, for reasons both practical and vanity related.
