Three widespread types of tarps are commonly used by truckers in different situations. There are mesh tarps, poly tarps, and vinyl tarps. Mesh tarps allow air and water to penetrate, but they hold back coarse debris. Poly tarps are the cheapest tarps and are only used in rare situations to keep light debris off the load. Poly tarps are also the weakest type of tarp. Vinyl tarps are the most common heavy-duty tarps used by truckers. They resist wind damage on the highway and are the most protective material commonly available.

The primary purpose of tarping loads during transport is to both protect the load they’re hauling and to protect other drivers. During transportation, there can be a very high potential for damage from road debris kicked up by other vehicles. In situations where the truck may be hauling debris or particulate loads, the tarps help protect other drivers from dangerous hazards flying off of the load.
