    Absolute perfection! Next truck comes in, drops air, inches under, inflate air and let the bags do the labor. Spin up the landing gear without tension!:cool::D

    The pic i posted those were filled with copper pieces so luckily the straps stayed tight after a couple retightenings... Some of the crap i have hauled in them, i can tighten the straps for the entire trip and they never get tight. Guess it just depend on material and how hard its packed, sometimes can be a pain
