I didn’t understand the part about covered tarps. I keep my tarps in my wood rack under the trailer. One of the tarps that’s still in its cover is the 27ft 8 ft drop tarp. I have never used it. The other two tarps are just rolled up and stored there. I’ve had all my tarps for a year. I purchased them from myteeproducts.com I do put blankets on the load when I tarp to keep the shark edges from piercing through the tarp. 👍🏻 The strap winches you are referring to are usually on one side. Sometimes I use regular strap and ratchets and put them on the other side if I have a need for it.

I was here to see you eat donuts but nothing. Keep it up.

Thank you! Unfortunately no donuts that time 😁 Trying to mix it up and not put donuts content in all the videos but they will be in future videos. Appreciate you watching and supporting 👍🏻

@Mr.AlexKogan7 ай бұрын
Here we ago again. You must not be in the trucking industry because you know absolutely nothing about what you can and can’t make. Why would you even post that comment?

@@donttruckhere lol. You are doing something wrong then. Ive posted a video previously showing my rate confirmations for a week I grossed $8900. I’m not going to show my rate cons all the time. It’s sad that the guys that aren’t successful in this business have to hate on the ones that are actually doing good and tell me oatmeal isn’t healthy. Come on bro grow up.

I think making 4 million net a year is pretty succesful if you ask me. Our Cost our LOW and we have great paying local and regional customers. like I said 7k a week is possible but definently not in a pick up@@Mr.AlexKogan

Hey Alex, I’ve been a hotshot driver for almost a year and Im open to use the best methods of strapping tarping etc., its the first time I see the way you use your straps, why is it that you dont just keep them rolled up in the sliding winch?

@Mr.AlexKogan7 ай бұрын
I don’t keep them rolled up for a couple of reasons. Reason one is when I throw my strap over the load, I don’t like throwing the hook side, I prefer to throw the strap side. Reason two is in winter time if you have freezing rain, you will not be able to use that strap if it’s on your winch. It freezes solid. Had that happen before.

I don’t keep them in the sliding winch because I don’t like to throw the hook side over the load. I like to throw the strap side over the load. Also in winter time if you have freezing rain, everything will freeze and you will not be able to use the straps.
