    Afghanistan..marines know how to get #### done.

    P.s that's nothing really I once used 10 bungee cord bundles to strap down my load after the ratchet straps broke. Spiderman couldnt have shet on me when I was done.

    Mine handed me a copy of the Dsm5 and told me it describes me pretty well. He says that for a flat bed guy I'm pretty well adjusted.

    All over the top straps. Maybe not crazy securement but I wouldn't want to be driving that. No bulkhead and no headache rack.

    looks like he has a bulk head built right in front of the load.

    9 straps over the load, dunnage between the bundles keeping it tight. What else would you do?

    The rebar was hanging over the bulkhead at the front. 8-9 chains, 2-4 belly chains. Maybe alternate the bellys, two binders on the left two on the right
     
    Ruthless, misterG and Orangees Thank this.

    chains ain't gonna keep it from coming forward any better than straps will. Somethings chains are better than straps, but rebar isn't one of them, just nothing sharp to cut or tear a strap on.

    Wow it actually has blocking between the bundles? I've never seen that in Ontario. It's spaced with straps over the top all day long out of Gerdau anyway...
     
    Lepton1 and DDlighttruck Thank this.
