Abstract
The present invention is a cloth tarpaulin or liner especially for pick up truck beds. The tarpaulin is formed to the specifications of a truck bed and easily hooks to the back of a truck. The device aids the removal and unloading of bulk materials and hard to remove items such as slag, sand, etc. The tarpaulin ultimately allows a minimal amount of clean up after unloading the truck. The tarpaulin covers the bed of the truck and has pull lines on the front of it so it can be pulled off the bed easily. This can be achieved with another automobile or it can be tied down and moved forward. Any type of material able to withstand heavy use can be suited for this invention.
