    My experience with bags is the same as yours.

    I hauled some walk in freezer panels once. You were required to put a half twist in order to haul them. They had pics of the damage flat straps did to the product. They had a torque wrench you used to tighten your straps. You cranked it until it popped off then they instructed you to tighten them one more click after you drove a few miles. It worked great.

    Cool, they at least helpful. The PODS people had a come apart when I delivered three to the yard in Wichita. Guy came running out screaming at me as soon as I popped the brakes. Started going on about how it was required to put a twist in the straps. But since I had just picked the trailer up at our company lot and traveled 2 miles he calmed down on me, but then went to calling in on who had hauled them in with the company rep. Now when I see one I'll look for the signs of a strap banging against it, you might be surprised at how many you will see driving down the road.
