    The real trick to keeping them tight is the way you put them on the winches but that's a whole other can of worms and controversial debate in itself. There's no good in getting a bunch flatbedders going.

    It really dont matter how tight u get them, on a tall load they are always going to vibrate if u dont twist them

    Oh yeah vibrators gonna vibrate. Never bothered me long as I felt warm and fuzzy deep down in my cold black heart that that load wasn't going anywhere.

    Saw them live last summer. Sound just as good now as they did on their old recordings from 30+ years ago.

    Just trying to save others, from the lies, pain and misery they will experience. Remember, a lot of people are looking to this now, with only enough resources to try one more thing after job/career loss. Don’t waste your shot on this ########, esp as a Canadian Driver (There is still some hope for Americans).

    Not to mention the lies, abuse, horrendous living conditions, hatred from the general public and customers, DOT/CVSE, safety muppets etc etc etc.

    Even if you find a decent company, it won’t last, it will just turn into greed and lies and abuse. Never fails, will never change, it only gets worse.

    Happy for them, I straight up tell people now, “if the truck has a bunk on it, don’t even bother” full stop.

    Id have a much better attitude if the 80% of trucks would turn off their bumper lights, dim their high beams before i see the whites of their eyes and stay in their own lane .
