I’m unloading (tanker). I’ve been here an hour and there’s a flatbed pilgrim that’s been securing his load the entire time. It’s 12 (looks like) pallets of Quickcrete.
p.s. He’s not tarping, just straps. I come here all the time and I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone (flatbed) here longer than 15 - 20 minutes securing their load.
How long to secure load?

12 pallets of concrete ? so 8 straps and about 5 mins

I never knew securing a load was a race...
What difference does it make to you if it takes him 1 hour or 10 hours?OLDSKOOLERnWV, Badmon, ProfessionalNoticer and 19 others Thank this. -
Sorry Frank, but it takes a long as he thinks it should. When he is confident that it is secure, he can go to his next stop. He will get faster as this confidence grows, but for now, he can and should, take his time.

Edit: I was there for an hour. He was going at it when I got there and was still at it when I left. Like I said before, I’ve never seen any of those guys take more than about 15 mins.Badmon and God prefers Diesels Thank this. -
I used 10 chains once to secure 2 23k coils lol dad always told me "secure for the crash, not for the ride"
It used to take me a long time to secure simple loads when I first started. Just wanted to make sure everything was 10-4autopaint, JbHettel, Malt Ball Cult and 13 others Thank this. -
