A tarp system for covering a truck bed, said tarp system comprising:

• a first pivot arm assembly adapted to be pivotally coupled to the truck bed;
• a second pivot arm assembly adapted to be pivotally coupled to the truck bed and spaced from said first pivot arm assembly;
• a generally hollow tarp spool extending longitudinally between opposite first and second ends, said tarp spool rotatably coupled between said first and second pivot arm assemblies for rotatably supporting a tarp cover;
• and
• a drive assembly housed within said tarp spool adjacent one of said first and second ends, said drive assembly operatively coupled between one of said first and second pivot arm assemblies and said tarp spool for selectively rotating said tarp spool and actuating said tarp system between an open position uncovering the truck bed and a closed position covering the truck bed, and wherein said drive assembly includes a motor.
