    I do. Wrap the hook all the way up into itself pulling it tight as you do. Once its all wrapped tight, it wont move.

    Nope. My insurance won’t pay if I hit somebody while throwing the hook over

    Nope because when you wake up and there gone. It’s hard to explain why you need five more straps to the company. I keep mine rolled up in two milk crates that’s tucked away in my lockable box.

    Guy I’m leased to keeps them rolled up in the winches. I think it looks sloppy and lazy. Besides what @Rontonio and @Nostalgic say. Throwing the hook is bad juju.

    I waited for 2 hours to get loaded but already booked a return trip for Monday and another one of these “wait loads” for Tuesday morning. They pay well enough to wait.

    had a battery putting off gas last week pulled it out and got a warranty replacement put I today ( no charge).

    I guess it time at 360k miles ( Dayton’s) to get some new drive tires. Pulled the trigger on a set of Good Years. I’m going to put the old drives on the trailer and cap the trailer tires (Firestone’s). Once the caps come back they are going back in the trailer. I’m selling the trailer at the beginning of they year. I don’t think I’ll get any extra money because I put cheap virgin tires on? switching to 295’s from 11r’s on the whole truck. Ordered some 9x 22.5 front flat face wheels yesterday too. 20AF0160-5554-4547-85C2-2CAB9E486FC3.jpeg BB32D77B-8D4E-44AF-B721-18CCF40D9D0C.jpeg Cleaning lady is back!!!!

    I didn't mention about the straps, but I agree.

    Curious to see how those Goodyear drives treat you. I've been shopping, and just want a drive tire that doesn't hold a bucket of gravel.
