A one-piece molded end cap (40, 75) is provided for use with a container tarping system (10). The end cap is in the form of an aerodynamically shaped shell and includes a trough (51) and ridge (50) configuration at the rear edge (53) to provide a sealing surface for the side edge of the flexible cover (16, 69) of the tarping system. A deflection barrier (54) is formed at the underside of the end cap shell and is configured to deflect material loaded into the container (12) away from the end cap. In a further embodiment, the end cap can include a tensioning mechanism (78) integral with a front edge (76) of the end cap. The tensioning mechanism includes an elongated body (79) having a bore (80) within which a tensioning element (86) is disposed. The tensioning element applies tension to a drive mechanism (70) of the tarping system through a cable (71).
