    Nooooooooo... the 21st is when this kid is due home.

    The 19th is when I should be home pounding beers until I forget the misery that has been these last few loads...

    All that #####ing about me being out west? I take it all back!

    I never saw a system trailer, can’t speak to that.

    Non store gives vertical clearance for tires, racks, toolboxes and dunnage trays.
    They’re fine for most any use, so long as you don’t roll the straps up on the winches between use. Or, I suppose: use 40’ straps to tie your tarps to the deck. That’d be tough with any winch I’d figure.

    The Gold/Brown W9 is Rodger, he lost one of his legs to diabetes but he's so hard core he's basically living there in the truck working on getting a waiver to continue driving. One of the finest, salt of the earth drivers you'll ever meet. His dog is pretty cool too, his name is Doc, one of those little self propelled floor mops.

    If I’m not mistaken it was black with blue designer stripes. I just caught a glimpse of it when I saw SPD on the door.

    Basically how it seems to go with me... by the time I realize it’s another SPD I’m past his landing gear. Granted, no one seems to wave here...

    The only wave I’ve gotten thus far is from the disgusting black W9...

    I’ve never been the one to roll the straps for storage on the winch. I’d say that method is very common though.

    I’d imagine it saves time but I’ve always been told that the “grip” on the cargo won’t be as strong as the traditional method... granted, I’ve also been told that “short strapping” is weaker as well... never did the actual research on it.

    The only loads I ever barreled was insulation or anything that didn’t need a strong “bite”

    If I keep a trailer past three weeks it’s an act of God himself so... just try and store as much as I can on the tractor.
