I carried 20 foot straps along with 30 foot. I also had enough 40 foot straps for hay.

I’m not sure it has a dump valve. I guess I need to find out. Funny thing I’m not even sure what the dump valve is. I’m going to google it.

It's a dumpy situation...Speed_Drums, God prefers Diesels, Bean Jr. and 2 others Thank this. -
Recommend us cargo control to just have it shipped to you, quite reasonable prices for straps, bungees
Chain, rural king or if youre ambitious, buy a barrel of chain and ends
Tarps, tarpstop
Or, msg me and ill cut you a deal on a ton of loot sitting in my garage (im not far away, just south of indianapolis) (i currently have enough to outfit my truck for the next 10 years except for tarps)
MAY even have a spare open headache rack for the chains/bindersbeastr123, Speed_Drums, LameMule and 2 others Thank this. -
Question on the dump value…….. do you all dump your valves on a turn when you have 40,000 pounds on the trailer? Seems like that would put a lot of strain on the back axle?

Or you can do mine.
12 - 40ft straps
12 - 12ft chains
12 - binders
Take no loads that require edge protection or tarps.pumpkinishere, cke, God prefers Diesels and 1 other person Thank this.
