Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

Thinking outside the box a little, so can't say I ever tried it, but what about connecting 2 straps and running one side under your frame, other over the load and both end into a winch?

 

Ya know, that could actually work. I'm gonna call CHP Monday and see if I can get a straight answer on requirements.

 

So if I understand this, your loading a sea can.
It really is no different than any other container load.
Two chains, one front, one rear. One strap for each 10 feet or portion of, over the top. If it is 9 ft wide, hook to your regular side rail, over the top, and to a ratchet. Don’t worry about going through the rub rail in this situation.
you’ll be fine.

 

Yeah, I think I've figured a way to hook straps to the bottom of my rail if needed. Still going to be a pia, but we'll manage.

 

Post a photo, when you get it.
Curious to see what it is. The dimensions are odd for a container. Never seen a 9ft wide, 10ft, yes.

 

Yeah its not like anyone ever fudged the diminsions before. But yeah, let us see your handiwork.

*Thinks back to previous fleet manager who mis measured some mini mobiles by 6inches, before ordering permits with no truck on them going from PHX to florida. Me and the securment instructor at the time measured these ourselves, cause I was gonna be the hapless idiot pulling it, before I got sent something higher priority going north, and they sent a 3 month driver who prolly couldnt spell permit instead*

And I only know they sent a new guy, cause then the securement instructor told me about the ticket, invalidated permits, and the fact the poor sod blew an open scale on top of it, and was where he got raked over the coals. Forgot which state. Heck think he got busted in Lordsburg.

Oh well. Not my problem anymore.

And my legal exacavator, almost got it perfectly straight. Enough to not much matter anyway. Its a baby.

 

Well, the container ended up being too tall, so we took it out. Hauling this for the Navy, Long Beach, CA to Portsmouth, VA...

 

So was it actually a container, with a non-standard length and width?

If you have winches down both sides of your trailer you can always hook your flat hook into those winches. I do it quite a bit on wide loads so I can tighten both sides equally.
