Here’s what I don’t understand.
I’m detecting a double standard here. I know how much guys here among our venerable flatbed crew take pride in your work and pull no punches in pointing out anything substandard, and I’d be disappointed in anything less.
That said, why is it ok to haul hay with no securement?Lepton1, exhausted379, tramm01 and 2 others Thank this. -

Besides buckin bales in high school and hauling across the highway behind a tractor, I spent a couple of winters hauling hay from Southern Idaho to Northern Nevada with a truck and two trailers grossing around 106,000. We had hay ropes that went over the loads lengthwise, and were tightened using a come-along between the ropes. We hauled both big bales and small that way, though the ropes went around the corners of the big bales.
Occasionally the middle bales on big bales didn't end up pinched correctly by the end bales and I'd throw a strap over the middle, but other than that nothing but the ropes. Hauled through the Hollister POE every day.jamespmack, cke, exhausted379 and 3 others Thank this. -
====|==========|==========|==========|==|==== > so 5 securement. Obviously this is only for length of the load and not the weight.
short version, 8ft load = 1 strap in middle
10ft load = 2 straps, within 4 ft from the ends. correct me if im wrongLepton1 Thanks this.
