I was at Sapa, Cressona Friday and was having fits tucking the plastic under the load, but then I remembered my hammer tacker:

I bought it to tack my plastic corner protectors to OSD loads, but it also works great to tack plastic to the wood dunnage surrounding the bundles of a Sapa load.
Nice, always carried one too. The other odd tool I had was a small handsaw, for cutting back dunnage if it overhung the rub rails.
This thread needed a bump, but..

The Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) is a person who evaluates employees who have violated a DOT drug and alcohol program regulation and makes recommendations concerning education, treatment, follow-up testing, and aftercare.
Thus is why I don't like metal loads. And yes I had to tarp it.
EEEGADS!
What the heck????? What's up w/that 'pokey outey' thing??
LOVE to see pictures after tarping.
I'm so sorry. Sheesh.

Older load but a difficult one because of all the various fittings and gauges on the top that had to be protected. Not to mention climbing up in and around all the plumbing to double check everything and feed the tarps without breaking anything.

This was all aluminum extrusions for a window manufacturer. All very sharp stuff. I always get cuts by simply brushing up against the aluminum edges.
The part that was sticking out with just one of the longer pieces of aluminum.

Do you have to use a lot of moving blankets or other things to protect your tarps?
I think I had a dozen or so moving blankets but also had foam pads and used bubble wrap under the foam pads to cover the gauges. What was crazy was that when I arrived, the installers were curious why they left all that stuff on there because they had all new ones specifically for the job waiting there. That was my last tarp job ever aside from rolling and unrolling the one on this hopper.
