I am unsure how to strap this load down. I will be getting 23 pallets of palletized rocks. Has not been loaded yet. Currently waiting in line. This is what I will be hauling

Try to make sure that they turn pallets so stone is closer to center of trailer?
-
Appears to be chicken-wire on it. Should be little trouble. As the other post mentioned, make sure any lean goes to the center. The more square-area of corner protector you can get on it the better.HoneyBadger67 Thanks this.

That one is a stumper.
How many straps have you got? I would throw in the chains as well.
Then keep a eye on the #### thing for failing netting and loose rocks that want out.
ugh. -
Strap over like and palletize load. Center load it. 2 straps in the front or “X” it.

Just an idea but how are the guys in front of you strapping it down. I'd watch them and ask questions.
gentleroger and x1Heavy Thank this. -
Was one guy in front of me he didn't have enough straps. He said he is just strapping the front and rear and riding to the truck stop. I'm not doing what he is doing.Linte_Loco, BigBob410, Cat sdp and 2 others Thank this.

They're going to load you 11 side x side and 1 single in the center.
Cross your straps on the front pallets. Then 1 strap per pallet for the ones in the center, and then cross 2 straps for the back is how I do it with no issues.
If you have a 102" trailer, the pallets will sit well inside the edges.
You'll probably have to check/tighten your straps once or twice.
If you have a grass/smoke tarp and it makes you more comfortable, you could use that over the top, or even a small 4ft drop tarp with only the top covered.
Lol @ the legend saying thats a tough one...Rugerfan, 1951 ford, gentleroger and 5 others Thank this. -
If you have enough straps I’d throw two over the top of each row of pallets... in an ‘X’ pattern from front to back.
If not just two over the front and rear pallets and one over the rest...
I hope that mesh doesn’t break on ya.
