    True it could be. I just know I hated pulling those stick and strap bundles. Times like that I wished it was live load so I could cinch wrap. Had quite a few lengths of pipe walk out from the bundles even witb a belly wrap.

    Fifth wheel puller. Push strap halfway through from one side, pull the other half from other side.

    It also hangs corners and bungees really well and every once in a while, will pull the fifth wheel release handle very nicely.

    I still find it amusing that some drivers use their chain pullers to pull the fifth wheel, and even call it a fifth wheel puller... Come to think of it, that's what they get called in the truck stops that sell them too....

    Odd.
