I hauled a load like that from PA to CO one time. I put V-Boards across the pallets trying to make as many contact points as possible then threw...
Mule Tape is used by electricians for pulling large wires through large conduit. The stuff is crazy strong and not to expensive.
Ok, my very limited 2 cents worth. On tarps I only use bungies to hold the ends together and the corners down. I have 250' 1/4 inch nylon rope...
I like the 2x4 for V-Boards. You can put more tension on them and they tend to hold loads of brick or cinder block together better. Also very...
I didnt like any of the commercially available ones so I made my own. Mine has room for chains, tarps, dunnage and more.
I did the same as Suprtrkr but I suggest painting them. They will last longer in the weather.
I have 4 stakes made from 1.5 x 2.5 x 3/16 box beam. They are 4'6" and have a piece of angle welded on them to keep them from dropping through. I...
There is no such thing as to much securement on a tarp. The other thing is having a tarp that is appropriate to the load. Nothing like trying to...
I hauled a load of Bentonite from Casper, Wy to Madison, La. I got there and the guy asked if I wanted to take it somewhere else for him. He said...
I have a 45 x 96 and very rarely have any problems. It can be tricky at times but you just make it work. I would love to have a 48 x 103, but...
The other end of the spectrum about allowing dispatchers to bully you in to driving in bad weather is the guy that is terrified of the conditions...
However long it takes you to do it correctly is good. I have had days where my stuff almost puts it self away and days where I couldnt roll a...
Couple more shots. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I had to get a shot of the wife in there too. I will pay for that later I am sure.
I was outside working on my truck during some much needed down time. This is what passed by the house. We counted 170 tires on the two trailers. 4...
I pulled in to one in Fl with an untarped load of 2x4's. The guy was barely awake when he asked me what I was hauling. I told him Twinkies. He...
[ATTACH] Extra screwey messed up Menards stock order [ATTACH] Steel catwalks. Like trying to strap a handful of razor blades.
Do my logs, post trip, set up paperwork for tomorrow. Grab what ever food like substance is least questionable from the TS. Call the wife and...
What I do with my extra from the portables is to fold it up like the others said, but I use either a zip tie or gorilla tape to hold it to the...
US Cargo Control has good prices too. You can get some stuff like tarps and straps cheaper if you get the ones with their brand on them. Also the...
I have been to the Menards in Eau Claire. That place is a 12 ring circus. Load in one building, go to next building where you wait till they are...
