    How about it?


    I just had a near disaster today....

    I had the bottom middle blow-out and then top pallets started to lean....

    Every pallet was Vee boarded and strapped....

    Front group had two straps plus a vee board on the front with straps criss-crossed.....The same for top front pallets....

    Still blew out....First time this happened and I have hauled dozens of these roofing loads.....


    Anyone have any other ways to secure these loads?

    the reason I won't load double stacked roll roofing.

    So the full bottom layer was V-board and strapped, and it still sagged.

    Learned this tip from an old hand.
    Take a 2" strap and go around 4 pallets of rolls. He always did three sets in the middle of the load.

    THAT is why I would never haul double stacked rolls. I'm very surprised FMCSA hasn't prohibited it. So my tip is, don't haul it.
