I used to do that on pipe loads. Didn't DOT securement standards change and say you couldn't anymore since it degrades the strength of the strap, which is BS IMO?

Old picture of delivering truck bodies in Chicago. I wasn't allowed to strap it down and had to get special permission from the shipper if I did. They banded the bodies straight to the deck.

I still use the3 twists and havent been stopped for it so I hope its still all good as there are several loads (drywall, those quads, electrical insulators with wood crate) that need that done on. I would say BIG BS also if they changed it. -

I hate those loads where you cant crank down on the straps. I want those things so they cant move at all.
