THE STORY BEHIND THE KING OF COVERS

Douglas Richard, the creator, designer, and founder of Richard’s Hydraulic Dump Truck Covers was 18 and employed as a dump truck driver. Because the process of covering and uncovering the load required more time and labor than suited him, especially in inclement weather, Doug decided to do something about it. He created his own automatic system which allowed the dump truck or trailer driver to cover and uncover his load from the safety and comfort of the cab. From the late 1950s to the early 1970s Doug worked at perfecting his system, whose patented design we still use today.
