I had to tarp and untarp a set of doubles 4 times today. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I could have sprained a finger holding the button in. IMG_20160804_162537668.jpg

Doubles:

Refers to pulling two trailers at the same time, otherwise known as "pups" or "pup trailers" because they're only about 28 feet long. However there are some states that allow doubles that are each 48 feet in length.

I don't have to tarp loads but I can imagine I know my chains and binders get hot as hell in this Florida sun.

I have it better than the guys with the side dumps. They have to get out of the cab and push buttons for the tarps. At least I can stay inside.smile.gif

Tarping in the heat makes winter seem so welcome.
