Every time I spot a flatbed with a perfect, squared away tarp on it, I automatically assume it's a Melton truck. Those boys throw rags like no one else in the industry. Very professional, every time.

Nice, our company has a 3 tarp system as well. I'm not a personal fan of it. It definitely insures full coverage but if you tarp correctly you can make it work with 2 27 foot tarps as well. 6 foot drops work for most loads.

@bobbates7343 8 месяцев назад

The tarping is fine . Still everyone that traps loads should switch to rope instead of those dangerous bungy cords. Those things have broken on me and hit my face so near my eye I thought wow I could have been blinded. Now ropes just do not do that and it is faster once the person is used to making the knots . Once a person has that down it is faster and so much safer. At least wear safety glasses when using those rubber cords with the hooks on them . I have had new ones break and old ones it does not seem to matter. I saw people who did nothing at a lumber place but tarp loads and they all told me that yes they have been hit in the face with the hooks . One guy had a massive cut in his arm once from them that had he been alone he would have died . He had cut so deep into his arm he almost lost it .

@50plustrucker 8 месяцев назад

I keep rope for loads that are uneven or tall and tend to make the tarps blowout while traveling. I find that rope keeps enough tension to keep the tarps in good order.

I worked for melton for 6 months it was exiting being a new driver and all but my dm was stupid she sent me a load that was 80 miles away I get there and it was to late to load up so I had to come back the next day so I get there the next day and get loaded up I secure my load and tarp it. My dm was blowing up my phone once I got in the truck I saw I had a miss call from her I call her back and she tells me that load was a mistake and was a load that was given to another driver the day before and to head back to the truck stop where I was at in the beginning for the weekend, turns out the load I got loaded with belongings to the owner operator that helped me tarp up that load Long story short I got tired of the bs so I quit
