    That's a new one. And I didn't know it was two seperate stacks in one bundle.
    Why I actually prefer to tarp insulation loads.

    Seems that they should have some kind of pallet under the stacks to connect them better than a bit of thin plastic.

    Yeah hindsight's great isn't it? If I knew I woulda threw one more strap right at the front. Still may come morning. I have two 3" on each stack.

    These loads always walk some. They're annoying.

    I had insulation walk like that one time. I X strap the front and rear if I haul it now.

    I've never had it do that before. I may start x strapping.
    Usually it's on a flat and at least smoke tarped. I prefer lumbers.

    X the back, or if it is all 8' you can run half the X but make sure you catch at least 3 of the ### ends real good.

    When you have a flat top or some wheelbase that foam sucks for fuel mileage. Opens that top set wide like splayed legs n the wind Rams in n holds you back.

    At least that's a product you don't need a forklift to fix. I hate insulation in all forms. It should all be shipped in a box. I don't know why people get it shipped out on a flatdeck, then complain when it arrives damaged/dirty.

    Why no V-Boards ? Btw, unless you carry those thin aluminum corners/V's, insulation will get damage. I'm so glad I don't haul that stuff anymore.
