Depending on where your coming from you'll have Tarp Stop locations within reach if you need to buy some more racks or dunnage...
They have locations in Perrysburg, Ohio. Gary, Indiana. And up in Taylor, Michigan...4mer trucker and angrytrans Thank this. -

You read it right 1 for every 10k. Minimum of 2 racks. But if absolutely had to, I have used just 1 rack on such a small coil. Front 2 get 2 racks each and back get 2 each then pick 2 in the middle to skimp on.
I would definitely stop and buy a couple if I had a chance. I've taken a load and gotten there and only have 5 sets of racks and load was 6 coils.
Tug is probably right they will be skidded, but I did just a load that was 1 coil 11k and 5 6500k couple weeks ago.
Bean Jr. and angrytrans Thank this. -
If they are smooth, I'd run racks on all of them, but if you are desperate, maybe run racks for the front and back ones, then setup a couple pieces of dunnage as nail boards to keep them from sliding sideways then chain/strap them together like slinkies?
I can't see the shipper being happy with chains though, but I'd say they would be small enough to be skidded eye-to-the-sky.Bean Jr., SAR and angrytrans Thank this. -
