Post your flatbed load pictures here

LOL Anything you did different for that pipe than you would with straight pipe?

 

I'm no flatbedder. But from looking at pictures, he strapped every level of pipe if that makes sense.

 

Straight pipe is much easyer, all the straps are straight, and everything is touched evenly, on this crap everything is differant diamiter, length, differant bends etc. this is also 13' 4" rather then 4'

Ive hauled the straight pipe before. It was the first solo pickup I had, but it was pyramid stacked. I just put belly chains and straps on it. Also had pipe stakes on the side. Not sure if I'll get a load of pipe like you got, but I will definitly keep it in mind.

 

just some of my pics

 

Very nice pictures!!

 

we dont do pyramid stacked pipe here, if we haul it, it will be stacked in layers or it will not go on our trucks. Pyramid is allot more dangerous. I dont like pipe no matter how you stack it lol

Ive hauled stacked pipe like that, but it was plastic. The metal pipe was pyramid stacked: 65 peices, 42 foot long, 47,000 pounds. I didnt mind it. The belly chains helped a lot. Kept the whole load tight together.

 

Layered pipe is gravy, I always loved hauling it.
