I know I am putting in my opinion late, but I agree I would do some belly wrap the load, I usually would put a strap before and after dunage, and also I always figure 5000 lbs per strap for ease. Again no such thing as over secure

Wishing you a speedy recovery, and wishing you and your family happy holidays. This was a really good read and touched my heart. You definitely are an inspiration to us all (along with all the other vets of the road on here).

Why Won't This Company Let You Tarp On Their Property?
I have been to a few places that have instructions like this. Like a couple of people said most of the time I have seen it is do to not enough space for trucks to be taping and them also being able to load and unload trucks. I have also seen places where the tarping area has a like open barn with tarp lifts..etc. Like turtle said it can take a little time to a long time to be secured and tarped depending on the load.
