Flatbed mods to make it easier to load / unload

At Iowa 80 were you? This looks soooooo familiar.

 

Eyup. They had the snap binders with the lock pin too. I didn't see anything else that I wanted. Well, except for the cutie at the DQ

 

The only thing they have back in that corner that is resonably priced in their flags, everything else is break out a kidney expensive.

 

I don't leave my straps on the trailer. Don't they weather damage faster that way?

 

I hear you. I look but don't touch their prices. It really is scary that they are busy taking advantage of the driver in a spot by selling that high. Never mind that these things are tax deductible, driver know that these things are cheaper at other places that just aren't immediately available. Wouldn't it behoove Iowa 80 to sell at the lower prices like these other places do and make money that way? I don't get it....tout the trucking industry and then take advantage of the drivers.

 

#### I'd been happy with an ice cream and some chicken strips

 

Oh, wait. That was the Kenly 95 last weekend.

I would have perferred the cutie and some DQ hot fudge

 

Cut the end of your straps at a slight angle. Burn the cut ends so it doesn't fray. The slight point/angle cut makes it easier to thread through your winches or ratchets.

Burn any frayed or cut areas of your straps. Cuts and abrasions are less noticeable without the fibers sticking up all over the place. Replace them if they are unserviceable.

 

Okay, similar rack and arrangement then obviously.

 

I imagine they probaly do I am not for sure. I haul sod mostly so if its raining or wet i ususally don't work. I will pull the whole strap and winch off the trailer and bring them inside if its supposed to rain.
