Yeah, in my book a "gut wrap/belly wrap" (same thing) is when you wrap the product and then attach both ends of the strap/chain to the trailer. After that, you throw straps/chains OVER the top for final securement. A layer wrap is when you load bundles of PVC for instance, or lumber maybe 24' long, and you want to secure the bottom bundles, usually the bottom two, then load the top two bundles and secure them, so you now have a solid foundation for your load. The bottom two stacks are secured and won't move on you. Normally just two straps and then three over the top, per bundle.

I wrapped some pipe I had. Was the first solo pickup I made... Chain wrapped around the front bound at the top, and one on the back. Had 7 straps over the rest of it. Didnt move a bit on the way to OKC from Houston
-
Good deal!
-
Kind of hard to see the chains. Theyre located in front of the front strap, and inbetween the last two straps. Thats the cleanest my truck and straps have ever been... lol

This might be a bit of overkill, but it looks like good information regarding load securement:

Had a shipper for chr wanted me to load some pipe laying flat on the bed no dunnage, no chocks, and no layers of dunnage and said they ship like that all the time, not me.

Surprised it made no mention of V-boards. I haven't seen many on the road though either. Even for the shingles where we were required to have them for.
But nicely done manual. -
That's just crazy. There is no way that is safe, nor happening on this truck.
-
Good enough that I bookmarked it and will foward it to our securement class instructor. Got to remember, though, this is for ocean going freight, which gets tossed around a lot more than just going down the road.Last edited: Apr 29, 2012

It did mention wood "softeners" on bagged commodities.
