Locomotive alternators. Looks like my tarping skills are improving. I wasn’t sure the angle for the drop tarp on the front and back. Maybe it needs to go more straight down.

Inch and a quarter rebar. 24’ long and 13 straps. 2 belly wraps each top and bottom. I always am paranoid of braking hard and getting impaled lol. This week turned out to be my most profitable week in probably 6 months.

beastr123 Thanks this. -
Off setting one pocket/spool will help. This way when you tighten the strap, it won’t pinch down on itself and will fully tighten the strap. -
12 wide to Windsor Ct, twice. The first one was a little crooked on the wagon, I probably should’ve been permitted for 13’ but who’s gonna pay the escorts?

Yeah I did offset one spot down with the belly wraps but yes you’re right to put the winch side under and not over like I did. Still learning. I would like to have a bulkhead but I don’t have enough dunnage and I’m too heavy really to add 6 more for a bulkhead. I really need to be able to scale 48k.
What do you all think of belly wraps that go under, over, then under again? Are they still effective or do you need to go over, under, over?cke, Winnyf1, Espressolane and 3 others Thank this. -
If you do under over under and the bundle starts rolling it isn't pulling against anything. It can just roll sideways over the top of the strap and your wrap will just roll with it.
Here's a not great drawing I did quick.

Basically, if the load is wide, under over under.
If it's narrow, over under over.
If you don't need the downforce, then go for max squeeze.
