    We are a company with an innovative tie down strap (it is side loading so it takes about 1/3 the time to load and unload). We are experts in the retail channel (Home Depot, Lowes, Northern Tool) but we know almost nothing about where truckers buy their supplies. Would be curious to hear where you shop for supplies like tie down ratchets. Thanks for any help.

    There are "truck supply" houses and outfitters in most every larger city. I'm not sure how their supply chain works but I suspect there are a number of national distributors but don't know any names. Trailer dealers are often national, especially flatbed, also stock binders, chains, straps, etc for retail sale.
