Ratchet Straps and Tarps for a 40' trailer, what do I need?

Is there a best place to buy straps, chain/binders, and tarps?

 

Mytee's got good stuff but my new favorite straps come from autohauler supply. Check out the diamond weave ones. Super tough material..

 

Wanna buy a nice 2014 Load-Max. It was custom built at 39' deck length to specifically keep my rig under the 65' rule. Keeps you legal with any crew cab long box..

12k dexters
EoH disc braked
Sliding winches
Good 14ply rubber

 

Tends to be the way my luck has been lately. Its hard to find other like minded people who are willing to sacrifice that extra foot to play by the rules and keep their rig legal.

Congrats on your trailer purchase, & good luck out there. Put some freight on that deck & go make some cash !!

 

I run a 3500 ram with a 35+5PJ ratwd at 29500lbs. It is equipt with sliding 4" straps and 8 5/16x 20 foot chains and binders. As for tarps I carry one 24 foot 6 foot drop tarp and wentto lowes and bought a cheapy just in case the load is a bit longer.
I would calculate all your operating expenses and find out per mile you have to make to break even and add 10% (that would be on the low side) or simpley try to stick to 2- 3.50 per mile. You should make some money at rhat rate.

 

Also make sure the straps you do buy. Have the rating's on them. If not DOT will look up the low weight for that size strap or chain. And you can find yourself. With a ticket, for not having enough Strap's or chains to do the job.
Seen a guy last week in town here. He had 6 harbor freight stap's on his load. It looked to be a heavy load. So sure he was not a happy camper after he got the tickets.
