equipment for flatbed
is 12 straps and 12 chains good enough to strap a load?
what do you experience driver recomend be the norm for any given load. I think I'll get tarps at a later time. never had to tarp a load so I dont know much on where to start or wich tarps to get.

That should be enough for most loads. Most will only require up to 10. Unless you have tarps, you will lose a lot of loads. It basically depends on what you haul, but a 3 tarp set would offer some flexibility.

Depends.
Coulld be zero. Many brokers will tell you it's in there. TMC pays it's drivers $10. I try to get $50-$100 depending on the size of the tarp. If you make the tarp fee high, sometimes they will decide it doesn't need a tarp.
