    If I knew where you were and we were in close proximity I'd buy them I need some good one and the ones I've seen are too expensive for my blood. Just not spending the money for the best ones. I left mine at Spring Hill, TN GM a few months back and just haven't been back since. I have great straps, but some good load locks would be perfect to have.

    If we were in close proximity to one another I'd buy them as I need some right now. I left mine at Spring Hill, TN GM. Never been back that way go figure even though I only run GM loads right now. I have the best straps money can buy. Also they were just decent as they were free. But if you are selling some then they must be good. If you can't sell them and decide to hold on to them then we could run into one another at some point and I'd be inclined to relieve you of the burden lol

    I'm a flatbedder, but I occasionally take a dry van to get to open deck freight. I use straps, I take satisfaction in knowing if the cargo moves it'll have to rip the rails, collapse the walls or break my strap.

    When I did reefer, no matter how good you would get those things in there, a pallet of meat or frozen crap would just laugh at it. Specially pressing it up against cold moist kemlite. But I had em to make the customer happy.

    Load locks work best with a strap. About any other way they are use less.

    Especially with ultralight trailers. Without straps the sides bulge out and your load locks end up on the floor.

    If you are able to use straps why would you ever use load locks.
