2 in straps

They will want to overhang the front and rear of a 53’ trailer typically. What they want and what they get are two different things with the right driver. Those loads are not the best.

 

That’s only what I haul, farm and ranch equipment.

 

Do you use alot of 2" straps?

 

Not really. Use mostly 4”, have 24 on the truck. 16 to 18 on the load is normal. Do carry a good number of 2”, like 16 or so. Maybe average 6 2” on a load. What is in the load has a lot to do with it.

 

I've loaded there in Caldwell a few times.
They have a pit you drive into and load you with an overhead crane, no reason they couldn't load a low pro step safely. Its not like they are trying to load palatized freight with a forklift from the side and the deck was too low. It's loaded with an overhead crane.

For anyone that goes there and gets shut down.... Don't get mad at the loading crew, they are good people that don't mess around. It's some upper management garbage.
