Why join the Tarp Association ––––
Your membership delivers valuable benefits for your business
Tarp Association exhibits at truck-related shows on behalf of its members to promote the use of truck covers and tarps Division activities promote the acceptance and use of truck covers and tarps by fleet owners and owner-operators On behalf of its members, the Tarp Association monitors changes in state legislation, prints pertinent laws and post them on the Tarp Association website "When I was put in charge of Donovan's truck tarp operation, Donovan did not have anyone who focused on the tarp side of the business. It was a natural for me to join the Tarp Association. I have been able to meet others who do what I do, and I have gained new customers, strengthened ties with companies that manufacture similar products, and found new vendors I did not know existed by trading information with companies."
-- Michael S. Ciferri Jr., vice president/product manager, Donovan Enterprises |
