Flatbed equipment and rates ?

Cut 10 feet off of a 30 foot strap

 

I’m a fan of the 15” tarp straps too.

I really like Tri City Canvas. The shipping kills the savings, but if you can drop in it’s good. They have truck access.

Their OS banners and flags are exceptional - reasonable prices too.

I’ve got a few 40’ straps for oversize stuff - if you move in that direction later.

 

Don't forget a nail bar. That claw hammer won't always have enough "oomph" to take out all the nails. A 3# sledge is also quite handy.

 

skateboarders doing lot more work so rate must be higher than any boxes on any day.
In my opinion brokers or customers post some rates (made up) here and there to attract others. Seems thats working now they have upper hand.

Adding to the list

Coil rack 10
Coil pad 10

 

Height pole. Never trust, always verify

 

And don't pay the $125 - 175 they want for the PoS fiberglass sticks. For about $75 you can buy an aluminum Bosch surveyor stick and have a welding shop make you a crossbar for it.

 

Being the operative word

 

$540 12 - 20’ chains 3/8
$360 12 - prolok 66 binders
$300 3 boxes of 4” straps
$150 1 box 2” ratchet straps
$50 1 box 31” bungees
$75 1 spool 3/8 cobrarope from eBay
$XX 4ft and 8ft set of tarps
$40 10 coil racks
$40 10 coil pads
$255 3 felt pads from tri city canvas
$25 12 chain edge protectors
$100 40 12” veeboard edge protector

Prices above is what I paid roughly. That’s the equipment, obviously there’s dunnage, tools like a hammer stapler, tape, measuring tape, etc.

 

Roger that on the crowbar... I done snapped my claw hammer in half about 2 months ago, i had 2x4 bracing laid all down the length of my trailer that was bracing in some tow dollys i was hauling..after i got unloaded i had to get it all up for my next load and About halfway thru removing it with my claw hammer she just decided to break in half..litteraly, the claw was stuck under the 2x4 and i was holding the broken handle in my hand, #### near wacked myself in the face ... I had to get creative and stick the claw part under the 2x4 and the broken end that was left i wedged it in the square end of my winch bar and was able to use the leverage and get it up that way, sure was a pita that couldve been avoided if i had a good crowbar

 

LOL Or a good claw hammer.
I graduated to mostly using a screw gun, but still kept a hammer and nails.
