    You need belly straps. You've got 7 separate layers and not a single belly strap.

    There were a few belly straps. Problem is the pieces are stacked so far apart every belly strap became a winch and just seemed to be pulling them together. They should've loaded it with some type of dunnage in between. It was a pre loaded trailer. Way too much space between. Then Idk... glad it was ok. I'm usually an overkill guy.

    Well there's your problem. You shouldn't have taken the load like that. It's actually not even legal, and certainly not safe.

    The dunnage used between layers was not allways safe.
    Some are doubled in height.
    With such small wood blocks stacking them 2 high is asking for trouble.

    Moving vans tend to have that sliding shelf out the ### end, set it out just as far as needed, then strap the balls out of it.

    I'm not saying I like it: but I've seen a lot of it, being that I live in the "Tax You To Death State"
    Bedbuggers live by a whole different set of rules: all that carrying stuff n loading and unloading your own wagon means you'll never see this fat man doing it!
