I don't think I've ever heard of anything so ridiculous in my life. Tarp a load of gravel??? Yes - around here you must tarp a load that will blow out of the "vehicle" while in transit. Are you guys trying to tell me that a dump truck load of gravel must be tarped in your area? The ONLY dump truck I've EVER seen tarped had a load of trash going to the local dump.
Yes, must have tarp in oklahoma. Loads into a dump ground also must have a tarp. Item being hauled does not matter generally. Following a truck and hitting gravel is one thing. Passing a truck when your doing 65 or 70 and the truck is also and hitting the gravel that is falling off is a different matter. Even at 35 mph its a pretty good way to have damage.
