The Importance Of Load Securement-Courtesy Of Georgia DPS

No belly, no tarp, pays pennies, 2x4s yech

Not the worst kind of load to haul but certainly in my top 5 of "not worth the headache"

 

Slick pine is horrible if not tied down right, straps only put pressure on the outside and 4-5 inner layers, the center will walk backwards or slam forward, from the rear all the way to the front.

 

Looks like fun for securing

 

That’s awesome now he will either be trained better or dropped by his carrier. Too many lazy or uneducated people hauling flatbed in the last few years .

 

An old trick hauling lumber that wants to wiggle out of the bundles. Just get a bottle of sugar 7 up or sprite. pour it on the loose boards, push them back into the bundle and keep going. That sugar gets sticky and holds them in place.

Of course that's for a properly secured load, that's giving you problems.

 

Load shift,,,mm-hmm, a fancy way of saying this schmuck mashed on the brakes, and no bulkhead or headache rack, this is what happens. Someone gonna do a whole lot of restacking,,,
