Make sure the sharp ends of your bungee hooks are facing away from the tarp, this will prevent tearing holes. Looking good!

Your tarp job looks good to me. Of course I’ve never done one and refuse to take loads that require it. (Just by choice). However, I don’t understand why they wanted you to tarp those plastic tubes/pipes. The place where you got the load had pipes/tubes stacked around the outside of the building without any covering 😂. Anyway, good tarp job and it was really nice of that guy to help you. I can count on one hand the number of times I got help! Good luck out there, stay safe!!👍🏿

Straps have to go inside rub rail. That is a huge mistake. Soon as dot sees that you will get inspected. I am not hating on you or putting you down in any way. Just trying to help you. Anytime you run straps they have to go inside. Because you can lose the load if someone sideswipes you. Hope that never happens tho.

If DOT got you for straps being on the outside of rubrail. They are 100% wrong. That ruling was applied around 2011 and lasted for about six months. FMCSA quickly removed that rule. Securement is the only objects allowable to be outside of rubrail. However, it is best to keep securement within the rubrail, including dunnage. Looks like dunnage maybe over hanging. Also, is there a reason you do not have mirrors up for towing?
