Default Late season pruning techniques

I was curious to how all you tomato vets handle late season pruning to help finish off your crop. Do you prune trusses that you know will not finish in time. If you do take trusses off , when do you decide its time to start truss removal ? Do you do any other pruning as the finish line approaches ? Last Argentinian Fall (May to June) I draped those white fabric row covers in layers over my plants at night and found that any parts that stuck out were doomed to suffer from the cold. So i pruned the tomatoes to make a hedge like row and got better results, or at less cold damage until it was time pull the whole plant. I did remove trusses when it was obvious that they wouldn't have time. I think i could have perhaps been a little quicker. and gotten better quality fruit and less green tomatoes that were not worth box ripening.

Please share your experiences and techniques.

Thanks

Mark
