  4. You could invest in a larger hook with wider and deeper throat. Pick up some fire hose(rubber inside,cloth outside). Slide over hook and attach to pipe end. Mud flaps (rubber ones). Its better than metal to metal contact. Hook I bought was $6.

    Photos from last night's pickup and delivery. Not very good at all. The photos, not the load.

    Lol ok see Danny said that if I decide to move trucks I should talk you so I would not want to crucify your work. LOL
    But since you asked I can only go off the pics and the spacing on the trailers I am pulling now. I was not there and did not have the tape so I may be wrong.

    Load 2 looks like between straps 3-4 theres 6ft 4-5 8ft and 5-6 8ft.

    Load 3 looks like should have swapped the front two since the it appears to be 6 ft between straps that go all the way over.
    Load 5 I would have tossed another strap between each set of doubles it looks like 8 ft between them.

    I can't really see all the chains on the others.

    Again I was not there and dont know your trailers so spacing may be legal.

    Please tell me if I am wrong I just got used to a strap every 4 ft to make sure never missed the 5 ft mark :)

    LoL the RR post weighed 6500lbs. It had 3 points in contact with the trailer. I put 1 as close to each point touching the trailer and also the opposite side had a latter so the 4. Over Over the top go over the 4 points where the latter wouldn't get bend up.

    The load of pipe we belly strap then whatever we need over the top

    Also the big pipe weighed 6500 lbs. Also the doubles are as close to the dunnage you could get which is good to do on squishy loads.

    The grader had 8 points of contact

    All is well
