    Does holey count as a color?

    In the winter the black 'uns will soak up that scarce sunlight and make it easier to roll up!

    So every flatbedder needs white summer tarps and black winter tarps!

    I'm switching to red just to match my truck. I don't lay on the dang things.


    However, crawl under a black sidekit in Texas in August and you might not make it back out!

    I know some freight actually will melt under black tarps in the summer.
