I literally believed that guy was gonna throw that tarp in under 80 seconds

nothing more gorgeous than seeing a beautifully tarped load looking like a wrapped gift for under the tree ;)

Tip of the day, use curtain side trailer and tarp anything in under 60 seconds 😂😁😎

[@DrivenTrucking]

🤣

[@adventuresofwillandshelby6013]

Shut up😆😆

You’d be limited to what load you can get

@@HisNameCodexthat is the only reason I wouldn’t get on but really how much does it limit you

Don’t know why I watched this. I’m a tanker driver. But your channel has excellent content none the less.

Thank you so much 👍🏻

Pulling my First step deck load today,switched From 48 flat and appreciate the videos man!!!

[@patricknorton7851]

Good video, keep em coming. Love the information you put out there. I had to do a little flatbed work at my last company and had never used tarps before so I actually went on KZbin and watched some videos and gave myself a crash course lol. It was good there are people like you that take the time to put this out there to help others.

[@DrivenTrucking]

Thank you very much Patrick

[@timphillips1570]

I liked it straight to the point.

[@cindytepper8878]

The best way to tarp in 80 seconds is load it in a curtain-side :)

[@DrivenTrucking]

Lol

[@kaleblawrence976]

A trick: you can watch series on KaldroStream. Been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.

[@remymelvin6492]

Great video and information as always! Tapping is definitely an art to do it right. Learning something new everytime.

I definitely agree!

Me too 😂

[@thetruckingturdle1550]

Just getting into flatbed with Prime Inc. These videos are incredibly helpful for the real world experience. Thanks!

[@HollywoodCane]

I’m starting prime inc In a few weeks under flatbed , how you like it so far?

[@faromarzgulom9155]

Thank you. That's helpful.

Another really good Video Brian

[@craigd.4768]

Good advice, thank you!

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

I dig it 👊😎

[@misconductfiles]

Great tips. 👍👍

[@rattler8041]

Excellent points. A complete tarping video would be helpful. Also, sometimes tarping first, then strapping over the tarp on some loads is helpful in windy conditions. All depends on your load.

[@connecttvburnsting1178]

Perfect Practice! 👍

[@highoncash]

I don't do that bungee in the middle till all tarps are on so they roll up straight together 1st. If you notice the edge of the tarp where it would lay under the front tarp is now at an angle and less overlap.

[@mariadelgado9222]

Great video brother

[@charles2359]

Great video. Be safe and have a blessed day

[@DrivenTrucking]

Thanks Charles! You too

[@jerrysantos6484]

Short sweet and to the point! That Rocks! Love them tarps. Still waiting for you to hook me up with thise 4ftrs.. Let me know when.. I see you wrap the rear in on the middle and arounfmd on the sides. If I can find a pic, I'll show you a eat ehere it will never flap open at the rear when your tarp has no rear flap. Stay Driven my friend. 👍😎😀

[@DrivenTrucking]

Thanks Jerry, and I will I promise 😂 life is hard sometimes lol

Tarp from back to front yup got it 😎

[@colinr6912]

I hate lumber tarps. 8 foot drop. Damn things are heavy 😂🤣

[@scottchurchill8847]

I agree

[@robertgray9802]

Two questions for you sir? How do you fold a tarp when it's freezing ass cold outside and last but not least how do you get a tarp on top of some of those loans that are so tall when there's no forklift driver available?

[@tomassmith4061]

Excellent video. I had to tarp a tall load like that today and learned a tip from a fellow driver. How do you keep the wind from blowing your tarp off as you drop the sides? (I hate when that happens!) This driver’s tip; Bungee a binder to a corner before you drop it. The weight of the binder keeps it from blowing away while you unfold and drop the other end. If it’s really windy, a binder in the middle too. Clever, says I.

[@DrivenTrucking]

Very nice!

[@krisbryant7100]

I've hauled reefer my hole carrier. after this maybe I can do flat bed..lol on second thought I'll leave it to the pro's & continue bumping docks.

[@DrivenTrucking]

Lol

[@tonybrooks9224]

Awesome video,, what size tarps do u have, and how many pieces?

[@davidbrooks4285]

I been driving for over 16 yrs but this is my first in flat bedding,so you fold the rear and front the same way,like a present?

[@simplespeed84]

It looks great. Do you have a video where you show what you did with the tarp at the transition from the top deck to bottom deck?

[@DrivenTrucking]

I’ll log that into my notes because no sir I do not 👍🏻

[@simplespeed84]

@@DrivenTrucking Awesome, stay safe driver.

[@vamp666ism]

They just need to get rid of tarping all together and use those trailers with rolling canopy

[@Oasisearthfarm]

You have worked standard and customer sizes. Can you speak to optimum utility, size and weight of Vinyl tarps for flatbed or step?

[@brotheradam]

I knew some of that from Farming loads in Virginia..

[@rdmike2637]

That logo on the tarps looks so bitchin

[@DrivenTrucking]

Thanks Nasty

[@jacobnaeyaert9417]

Do you have alot of bungee hooks straighten out on you seems to happen to me time to time any suggestions?

[@montedyoung3247]

I put my straps over the tarp, keeps them from blowing off!

[@truckingstone]

Hey Brian, I'm skateboarding around Texas and was curious if you have any advice for tarping in the wind when there's nothing around to block the wind. Been subscribed over a year now since I started flatbed. LOVE your channel!!

[@DrivenTrucking]

Thanks a lot! There’s no real good way unfortunately, just a pain in the butt. If it’s bad, I take 4 heavy things up top and stick them in the corners, then hurry down and tie the corners down. If there are other drivers around you can ask them to help you with the corners as well while you stay up top and hold it down.

[@truckingstone]

I was just headed to watch the video you released because I REALLY want the struggle of being an O/O! Today I picked up 60' I beams in Midlothian... tarping THAT load was a pain. I just put my wench bars up top then scrambled down.

[@aircooledhead]

@@DrivenTrucking A helper. Good luck with that. An old school flatbedder taught me: When you gotta “tornado tarp”, take some bungee cord and binders up with you. Bungee the corners and attach binders to bungee. Drop them over the sides at the corners to hold in place. More windy? More binders.

[@hoodlife8044]

I put a video up on how to easily lift a 115lb tarp onto a flatbed without hurting your back.

[@aircooledhead]

Went to your channel. Didn’t see it.

[@captainflatbed.7927]

But are they 80 mph tarps

[@michaelbyrd5046]

I've watched a lot of securement videos and it looks like some drivers strap the load but don't tighten the straps till after they tarp...are they doing this and why? Thanks for the info! Great Videos!

[@DrivenTrucking]

Thank you! I don’t believe they are, at least nobody I know does that. When you tighten down the load it’s possible on some loads that it could change the texture of the top of the load so I wouldn’t think so. Something like steel I don’t think would matter either way but I have always tarped after completely securing the load unless my straps are going over the top of my tarps which I basically only do that on insulation or tall loads to strap multiple tarps together with a two inch ratchet strap.

[@B-rad87]

Do you like the step deck better than flatbed? Has it opened up a door for more loads? I’m about to start my own authority, not sure if I want to get a step deck or stay with a 53 flat. Would appreciate a good opinion being you came from a flat and went to a step...thanks!

[@DrivenTrucking]

On the open market I’d say step, I don’t know if I’d say more loads necessarily but access to those step loads helps a lot. I haven’t had any issues getting loads anywhere and the occasional incredible step Load seems to be there every once in a while.

[@B-rad87]

Driven Trucking thanks for the reply. I’ll be 100% running on my own authority by the 14th (nervous and excited) so wanting to get all the opinions I can before I purchase a trailer.
