I pointed precisely that out to my trainer and his response started with, “Mannn.”
That’s a good idea, I’m also wondering where the hell the edge protectors are for the straps because they’re touching metal
Shoddy Load?

I’ve watched him roll past two so far and somehow he got away with it; I wasn’t looking but he claimed one said he could keep going, but it was open so why take the chanceFerrissWheel and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

Ahhhh good ol liftgates... i know exactly where ur at and i know @FerrissWheel does to
. Them things can be sketchy....put some cardboard under straps , should be plenty on the ground there... Tell the fat mexican dude , devin says que paso lol

Keep an eye on those boxes as well. The banding comes apart real easy.. Dont wanna lose those on the highway. Other than that as long as u got em tightened down they ride real easy

Hell they’re probably already gone but I was thinking I could put some bungees on them next time we stop if not; we’re bringing it to KentuckyCoffey, FerrissWheel and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

I got in the habit of checking all those bandings when i was strapping down. If they were loose id cut em off and write down which liftgate set they went to , if u have multiple drops , dont wanna get them mixed up . It should say on ur paperwork as well how many boxes are with each delivery..... The biggest thing tho is u need some edge protection under those straps. Ive cut more than 1 strap on those things even with protection. Cardboard works just fine... make sure straps arent pinching any hydraulic lines or any wires .... Those loads used to be my bread n butter. Usually otay mesa all the way to PA or new york . With 6 or 7 drops in between. Easy money650cat425, Coffey, FerrissWheel and 1 other person Thank this.
