If your just starting a bit of advise from the guy who tought me use as many straps and or chains that you eel is comfortable the longer you do it the more you will know how many will workk

 

And, actually, use more than may be needed. Building materials, like lumber and even steel, are somewhat basic. Get into odd loads or machinery type loads can be tricky. Be sure to absolutely prevent any possible movement fore and aft as well as side to side. Go by the FMCSA regs for tiedown strength/ capacity vs. load wt.

 

DONT WORRY ABOUT STRAPPING,JUST GET THE LOAD THERE ON TIME.

YOU'LL BE AL RIGHT.LOL,LOL

 

If you haul anything on tires or that can roll tie it so it can go up and down but not forward and back or side to side. If you haul anything with a suspension tie down the axles and let the suspension work.

 

What movenman said and then add one more. Better too much, than too little.
