    I roll mine up and zip tie them with reusable zipties I found.

    A friend of mine uses thick reusable zip ties for a lot of temp stuff-I found out they are reusable after I walked down my side of the trailer and cut them all with dykes when I got to the unload lol he came down his side with a handful of them looking new....mine were all bunched n junk oops

    If it's a tarped load I just roll them up and set it on the deck.

    I learned the same thing from an Aussie I worked with on the Harvest Run. Works great for 2" and 3"straps. A bonus is it pisses anyone off who doesn't know how to undo the loop.:cool:
