One of the requirements of running a successful Hotshot Trucking business is to be able to tarp a flatbed load. None of us love it but there will be loads that you have to take to keep moving.
Make sure you have the right tarp, 80% of loads are less than 30ft, I prefer to have two tarps, 26 x 16' (or 20). a couple of cheaper smaller tarps 20 x 20 that are stout enough to stand up to bungees not ripping the grommets out.
# Rule is how you roll up your tarp so that you can unroll it over the load each time.
There are many good videos, I suggest you check out YouTube to get the idea but it takes experience to get the hang of it.
