Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

First load of the year, easy 18 loaded miles.

 

Check out my strap job. Tell me if you've got any criticism. Lots of pieces, and I wished I had about twenty more straps. Had to put the load together like a puzzle. If your curious, it's a three sided billboard.

 

You didnt happen to load that out of Arizona did u ? Im picking up the same thing tmrw. Looks good to me. Just keep an eye on those beams on the back of trailer. Middle ones walked out on me last billboard load i did. Looked similar to what u got just a little smaller. Ended up putting a 2 inch strap on the back, pulling forward to keep them from moving

 

No, San Antonio. Still waiting on IFTA, so I can't leave yet. Yeah, I was worried about the ones on the back. Threw a choker and put all I had on it. Stopped a few times too. Load had me paranoid. Thought I somehow lost a piece of edge protection, but you can see I didn't even add it. Walked around that load about a hundred times too.

 

Definitely a tricky puzzle piece load. I'd have more chokers on those beams. A box of 10, 2" ratchet straps cost me $100 bucks, saved my bacon a time or two. Some loads seem to take more straps than ya have trailer for.

 

Heres my billboard load and first of 2021 ... sure wouldve been nice to get something a little easier to start the year ? Atleast i dont have to tarp it.

 

Me: What’s the commodity?

Broker: Some billboard FAK

Me: Sorry gotta go.... click... lololol

looks like a fun load otherwise lol

 

I’m heading from Denver to Oklahoma City

Any of you guy know where I could pickup pipe steaks along that route?

 

Try calling an Utility trailer dealer that's on your route. All of them carry flatbed gear and some will have pipe stakes.
