    Quick question for you owner ops.

    Ideally what should I be paying for used chains, binders and straps.

    16k straps
    3/8 chains and binders

    Are the chains/binders imports or domestic?

    I wouldn't pay anymore than $15 each for the chains and binders if they are imported which more than likely they are.

    New straps are $9 each $3 or so for used...

    I would not buy used straps at all. Chains are a different story. A box of straps is 100 dollars for 10

    If you dont have money for binders , chains and straps - i have bad news for you ! ...it might be objective , but its just me . If you buy it for yourself and know how to take care of them and protect - they will last long time(i just like new stuff) , for drivers - they will kill either ones

    Not that, I have a friend who bought all brand new flat deck equipment then got out of it quick. He’s bad at selling stuff so I’m just going to grab all his stuff from him.

    If you seen my equipment, you’d know money’s not an issue :p
