Then throw two straps to fill in the "strapless voids", somewhere near the vertical poles, just to add more securement to make it legal+, and make it look better.
Not saying that would be a whole lot better, but I would feel better doing that.scottied67 Thanks this. -

You liking flat work better than bumping docks?D.Tibbitt and farmerjohn64 Thank this. -
The job I have now is a great way to break into flatbedding because it is the same thing over and over, (roofing tiles one way and treated poles going back the other way). So securement is the same and of course no tarping.
Another giant plus is oftentimes I am allowed to run the equipment to unload my own trailer. Primarily the telehandler forklift types (JLG, Skytrak and Gradall) but one job they were not available so I found a CAT skid loader with forks and unloaded my trailer with that.
Forgot to mention, I did my first oversize load a few weeks back. 9'1" -
