About Smoke Tarps
A smoke tarp — also called a nose tarp — covers the front face of the load directly behind the cab, where diesel exhaust and road grime hit hardest. Many shippers of finished lumber, building products and machinery require one to prevent soot stains, and they are quick to put on before the main tarps.
- Protects the load face from exhaust soot
- Often required by shippers of finished goods
- Compact sizes, quick to install

How to choose smoke tarps
- Size. Choose a smoke tarp a little wider and taller than the front face of your load so it wraps around the leading corners.
Smoke Tarps FAQ
What is a smoke tarp?
A smaller tarp placed over the front of the load to protect it from diesel exhaust soot, applied before the main load tarps.
Do I need a smoke tarp with a lumber tarp?
Lumber tarps cover the top and sides, but many shippers still require a smoke tarp on the front face of finished or treated lumber.
What size smoke tarp is common?
Common sizes range from about 8' × 10' to 12' × 20', chosen to match the width and height of the load face.
