    Any other flatbedders pick up there before?? I got this load from a broker Thursday and I agree to do it and then he sends me the driver instructions which states I must have 24 edge protectors at least 10 inch long each. Which is ok I believe I have that. If you smoke tarp it.... can it be a regular tarp because I don’t carry a smoke tarp......? I’ve been calling but get no answer....

    Almost have to go inside to tarp it I think. They are very pointed about not throwing straps over top. I pulled van from there, but I remember all the signs on how they want it secured on flatbed loads.

    Not throwing straps over top? Do they mean throwing the metal part over? How else could you secure it :)???

    Owens Corning PREFERS the long plastic v-board type edge protection, but you can get away with longer cardboard edge protection.

    Are you getting shingles or foam board insulation? With a smoke tarp, it sounds like insulation. Be VERY CAREFUL in tightening your straps! I don't drag that stuff because I can't tighten my straps enough to feel secure.

    A regular lumber tarp on the front will serve as a smoke tarp. Just a pain to break out that big a tarp, is all.
