Hello, my flatbed company has racks installed on the side for dunnage and tarps. My understanding is that included items must be strapped in. Large straps are too big and bulky. Small straps tear frequently. Bungee cords are not allowed. Does anyone know of a permanent solution, such as an attachment which is sold that could be added as a fixture on the truck to eliminate the need for three extra straps each trip? Thanks in advance.

Can you take a picture of the rack loaded with your gear? A visual would help tremendously.

I was told while being inspected I had to have at least one 1inch strap on my dunnage. Also on my V-boards. Ours are about 6ft long.
I haul my tarps on my drom (lwer part of my headache rack), or cat walk.JessieH46536 Thanks this. -
Use an old piece of 4 inch strap to put under the 1 inch strap and it will last years

In a pinch digging up old 4 inch rolled a certain way will provide corners to secure new good strapping to.
You needed those straps to be tight enough for that original securement to make a little music as you hit it or it sings and whistles in the wind. Don't worry if its really serious they will come after you.JessieH46536 Thanks this. -

See attached pictures. Thanks! The orange straps are what we currently use. The edges of the trays wear them out pretty quickly.
