ABSTRACT:
A tarp assembly for covering an open top of a truck trailer has a tarp with a longitudinal edge fixed to one side of the trailer. A roll bar secured to the free edge of the tarp is rotated with a crank rod to roll the tarp to an open position and unroll the tarp to a closed position. A hold bar fixed to the free edge of the tarp with a plurality of straps is adapted to engage hooks secured to a side of the trailer to hold the tarp in a closed position. The hooks guide the straps and retain the hold bar in alignment for mutual engagement with the hooks.
