The one time I used straps I noticed a lot of abrasion where they laid over the top. That made me a little nervous, enough to discourage me from using them again.
On a longer haul I’d venture to assume they would’ve eventually broke.NightWind, farmerjohn64, Bud A. and 1 other person Thank this. -

I had a load for which songs are sung about how stupid the whole thing was that day. I went into a Home Depot not far from Jessup. They were breaking down the metal racks in the store for a reconditioning, whatever that was.
By the time they had the racks piled on my freuhauf deck it was a overwide, over long, over high pile of seriously dangerous load. All sharp corners sticking everywhere.
I threw everything on it. And stopped every half mile for the 17 miles to the stupid storage facility ratcheting, binding and strapping. tight tight and more tight. The tighter I got the more jingling I got as it got looser. And so help me the #### thing started spreading. So I quit it.
I made it to that building The loader told me to stand back out of the way.
Like a pickup stick childs game he hooked one of the racks with his forks and pulled 2 feet.
All of them came off scattering across the lot as he roared backwards not to be buried.
Thank you, sign here. You go bye bye.
next time I see a load like that I need a plasma welder.TX2Day, Axel Trucking, Lab_Rat_Logistics and 7 others Thank this. -
