What’s your take on it? I’d make sure the bundles aww touching and do bunch of belly straps. However who knows what the shipper wants. Or possibly try to clamp down each one with some short lumber like 2x4
Best way to secure this nonsense of a flatbed load?

I'd dahm sure do more than that. Was just having this conversation with a buddy. I passed probably 5 trailers loaded with rebar last week.
Most straps of course weren't touching the middle bundles, and while none I passed were long, none had bulkheads either.Another Canadian driver and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this. -
Its stated right on the back of the sleeper…
In all seriousness it should have stand up blocks in between then loaded tight against them. Then you can choke at the blocks. I’ve also laced with 2 different straps. Over, under, over under.
But mostly fallow the instructions on the back of the sleeper.
Even under the best of circumstances it likely not going to hold the bundles in the center when rapture happens….OLDSKOOLERnWV, Another Canadian driver, jamespmack and 14 others Thank this. -

Each bundle probably weighs 10K and that is heavy. So not likely to move. Considering weight being distributed from front to back of trailer.

Understand i know nothing . But i look at some of the loads you all haul , it seems to me that a flatbed should have some simularitys to a welders table . With knoc holes for pinning down with a bar and chain ect .
