Just don't be like the guy I saw today. Load of pipe shifted and butted right up to his headache rack. Looks like he got lucky and only damaged the rack and rear sleeper fairings. He got real lucky.
Best/Safest way to Strap down Pipe ?

Thank ya'll for the great and useful tips. I very much appreciate it.
I had a very heavy load today of sewer catch bins, grates and manhole covers. I went to town on the strapping. All went well with no issues.
Pic is 1/2 the load after I unstrapped it.Attached Files:

Pipe stakes are awesome, esp for round pipe.

Pics of a couple loads I hauled today.
That big pipe is 30" ductile. Weighed 3108 lbs. Had a 30" 90 degree fitting on as well... bunch other stuff too.Attached Files:

1-pull a couple of those straps the other way on the plastic pipe
2-on the ductile pipe try to put your dunnage blocks right under your end straps
3- running your wrap straps over then under and over again puts more downward pressure on the load.Czar_Zero, SilverBulletBand and kylefitzy Thank this. -
On my gut wrap straps, I just threw them across before loading the pipe, then over the top, so you are pulling down on the pipe. I have watched guys do it by throwing it over the top and fishing it under, but all that is doing is holding it towards the center, not down.
SilverBulletBand Thanks this.
