Gut Wraps

Yup, I read it, but I missed the no hooks part

 

Well what I call "gut-wrapping" (or maybe some of you refer to it as "gut-strapping") is say I have a load of pipe....The pipe is loaded on top of dunnage....Two layers say....Then I throw two straps...Front and back....Another layer of duannage....Two layers of pipe.....Center strap.....Repeat.....

The belly-wrap would a strap or chain and wrap the load in it's circumference...

So maybe we're all doing the same thing but calling a different name....

 

On that load I would have Gut-strapped with two straps halfway....Then do what you did over the top layers with chains Belly-wrapped...

 

What was the OD of that pipe?

Smaller OD can be loaded like that....But I still prefer to layer it and secure those layers....

It's your truck...Your trailer...And if the shipper says otherwise...Drivers should refuse the load....

Shippers rarely if ever, take any responsibility for a load that fails......

 

And in CO.....Two strobes in the rear and at least one strobe in the front.....

 

I have done that way with strap winches...Since Utility is effing cheap and you only get 5 sliding winches per side......

 

It's mine....It's a pain in the azzhat to add winches on it though...I'll have to plan some time when I get some extended time to add them.....I need to do other things to it as well....I have three tool bins....Two between the spreads and one on the R/S front....And I still need more room....
I need to add a dunnage rack....A ladder rack....A spare tire carrier....But right now...It's all about running while the running is good....
