    I guess I should add the truck was delivered and picked up in west Sacramento and driven to the capital building. Same with all the trucks at the consumer electronic show in Vegas.

    Waiting for another driver getting unloaded, so I can get backed in and start getting unloaded too this morning. This was the load I picked up and I had just enough time to get it strapped before I hit the scale. 20220418_073248.jpg

    Tall load.....at least for me LOL. Tallest one I've done so far! I put so many dang straps to feel better about my load being more secure! Apparently, I can't throw straps high so any advice would be great....well I did it anyways but ***k my wrists....they hurt really bad now. Oh yeah and rolling up all that excess strap (tips on how to do it more efficiently please).....I will ask these questions though on the experienced truckers advice page...or O/O page. Oh and I was going to do a strap on the end of the load except I didnt have any more winches and I realized that after I had a strap all set up! Blah. 20220418_114919.jpg 20220418_114910.jpg 20220418_114843.jpg 20220418_114838.jpg 20220418_114834.jpg 20220418_114852.jpg 20220418_114904.jpg

    Here’s another way to throw straps



    And I love my Bumblebee strap winder



    I hope this helps some, I know a more seasoned driver let’s say lol who ties a rope to their strap and has a tennis ball tied to the other end. All they do is take a racket and hit the ball to the other side and pull.
