    I had one shipper want straps for forward movement. Told him the freight in front of it that it is literally touching will take care of that problem. He didn’t want to hear it and of course I love to argue stupidity. I won.

    The two blue straps are enough. Being wood pallets, it’s not going anywhere. Looks like 15 boxes at most. So at least 1000# each. Best to use your own judgment and do what feels right.

    Two straps around the back would’ve been enough as long as all the crates are touching.

    We used to haul arcade games for a customer that required probably 15 straps. I always wished they would pay us by donating a few cool ones for the shop. lol

    But, we’d probably never get work done.
