1. A sliding tarpaulin for hauling material comprising: a flexible, foldable, sheet having opposite front and back edges spaced from each other in a lengthwise direction, opposite side edges spaced from each other in a widthwise direction, a top face and a bottom face; anda plurality of substantially rigid synthetic resin glides each having a top side and a bottom side, the top sides of the glides being attached to the bottom face of the sheet, and the bottom sides of the glides being sufficiently smooth to enhance sliding of the sheet on a supporting surface;the glides being spaced from one another in an array such that the sheet can be folded on itself along fold lines extending between adjacent glides from one edge of the sheet to an opposite edge of the sheet,in which a central portion of the bottom side of each of said glides is convex, in which said central portion is surrounded by a rim which is unitary with the central portion, and in which the rim is in facing relationship with a part of the flexible, foldable sheet, and secured against movement relative to the part of the flexible, foldable sheet with which it is in facing relationship. 2. A sliding tarpaulin according to claim 1, in which each of said glides is elongated in said lengthwise direction. 3. A sliding tarpaulin according to claim 2, in which a major part of the bottom side of each of said glides is convex. 4. A sliding tarpaulin according to claim 1, in which all of the glides of the tarpaulin are located nearer to the back edge than to the front edge of the flexible, foldable, sheet. 5. A sliding tarpaulin according to claim 1, in which the glides are arranged in at least one row extending in said widthwise direction, in which uninterrupted areas of the flexible, foldable, sheet extend, between the glides of each pair of adjacent glides in each said row, in the lengthwise direction from said front edge to said back edge, and in which all the glides of the tarpaulin are located rearward of a location midway between said front and back edges of the flexible, foldable sheet, whereby the tarpaulin can be folded longitudinally along said uninterrupted areas, and then along a fold line extending widthwise across the longitudinally folded tarpaulin. 6. A sliding tarpaulin according to claim 1, in which the glides are arranged in at least one row extending in said widthwise direction, in which uninterrupted areas of the flexible, foldable, sheet extend, between the glides of each pair of adjacent glides in each said row, in the lengthwise direction from said front edge to said back edge, and in which all the glides of the tarpaulin are located rearward of a location midway between said front and back edges of the flexible, foldable sheet, whereby the tarpaulin can be folded longitudinally along said uninterrupted areas, and then along a fold line extending widthwise across the longitudinally folded tarpaulin at said location midway between said front and back edges. 7. A sliding tarpaulin according to claim 1, in which each rim is secured to the part of the flexible, foldable sheet with which it is in facing relationship by a plurality of rivets. 8. A sliding tarpaulin for hauling material comprising: a flexible, foldable, sheet having opposite front and back edges spaced from each other in a lengthwise direction, opposite side edges spaced from each other in a widthwise direction, a top face and a bottom face; andat least one substantially rigid synthetic resin glide, each said glide having a top side and a bottom side, the top side of each said glide being attached to the bottom face of the sheet, and the bottom side of each said glide being sufficiently smooth to enhance sliding of the sheet on a supporting surface;in which a central portion of the bottom side of each said glide is convex, in which said central portion is surrounded by a rim which is unitary with the central portion, and in which the rim is in facing relationship with a part of the flexible, foldable sheet, and secured against movement relative to the part of the flexible, foldable sheet with which it is in facing relationship. 9. A sliding tarpaulin according to claim 8, in which each said glide is elongated in said lengthwise direction. 10. A sliding tarpaulin according to claim 8, in which a major part of the bottom side of each said glide is convex. 11. A sliding tarpaulin according to claim 8, in which each rim is secured to the part of the flexible, foldable sheet with which it is in facing relationship by a plurality of rivets.
