All this and I forgot edge guards.

Why would anything in a dry van need 15 straps ? There's very few loads u even need to put that many on flatbed. And those were usually pain in the ### loads that everybody hates

 

all the extra straps is nice and safe until u deliver and got to undo all the ratchets put all of it away. then saying what the hell was I smoking at the shipper lol

 

Stage freight for concerts, conventions and the likes. Lightweight, no touch. I can only imagine how well it pays not filtered through a broker. You'll need a milk crate full of rolled up ratchet straps. I always carried about 30 on my truck when I had a dry van.

 

I've run across a few things I end up with a dozen or more on, grain bin parts and center pivots mostly. I don't mind those loads too much actually, less than I thought I would when I first got into open deck stuff again.

 

I guess i just always figured most van loads they just shut the doors and hammer down

 

perhaps he's prone to roll overs.......

 

I have used 20 plus straps on a van load before. Bread racks going back to a bakery, multi-stop haz-mat loads. List goes on

 

Thats interesting to me . learn something everyday. What size of straps u generally use ? 2 inch?

 

Some do. It works, until it doesn't. Then they're the lead feature on the Five O'Clock News.
