ABSTRACT:
A tarpaulin for a quick and safe covering of a load on a truck or trailer bed is provided having a post positioned at each corner of the bed including a pulley mounted on top of each post at the front of the bed. A pair of cables are each anchored at one end to an extensible cable holder, trained over the pulley and removably attached to the post on the back of the bed. The system and method includes a U-shaped tarpaulin using a plurality of eyes or pulleys for slidably connecting to the cables for covering the load positioned on the bed. The tarpaulin may be removed from all or part of the load. The system and method also includes independent extensible cable holders for lengthening and shortening each cable to lower and raise the tarpaulin.
