With all the trucks at MATS one of the best shows put on was by Ethan Young of Young Truck Lines, winning first place for best Working Combo. A long time customer of Tarpstop he is located out of Lyle, Minnesota. With both an incredible truck and trailer, Tarpstop had a challenge to match it's tarping system to his amazing 2010 T660 Kenworth Truck and his stunning 2014 Mac Flatbed Curtain. This gave us a challenge worth stepping up to.

Recently the Bowling Green State University women's gymnastics team came to Tarpstop. They needed a solution for some of the wall installations that they were putting together for their team's lounge area and for a 'Wall of Fame" installation presented by Dr. Lee and Marge Meserve. As we are constantly running through walls for our customers, we saw this as a great opportunity to get involved in a project right in our backyard.
This month, Tarpstop is celebrating its 15th year. We thank our clients, employees, and all those for their contributions to our continued success.
