A tarp cover system for flat bed vehicles includes inverted U-shaped bow members that extend transversely of the vehicle, the lower ends of the leg portions of the bow members being connected with carrier devices by means of which the bow members are displaced longitudinally of the vehicle. The bow members carry a tarp cover member that covers and uncovers the vehicle bed when the bow members are displaced longitudinally between expanded and contracted conditions relative to the vehicle. The tarp member includes side portions that extend downwardly adjacent the outer surfaces of the leg portions of the bow members, and bottom flap portions that extend beneath the carrier devices and the longitudinal guide tracks within which the carrier devices travel. In order to produce compactness of the tarp system when the bow members are in the collapsed conditions, successive carrier devices are guided alternately on vertically spaced pairs of inner and outer guide rails, respectively, contained within each of the guide tracks.
