Hauling Lumber

We like pictures on this site..........

 

Did they put 4 units on the front.....?

 

Lumber is often loaded heavy...as much as you will take and some places put more than is legal if you don't pay attention.
Sometimes the loaders are super smart. Sometimes they're hungover high school dropouts. Good luck knowing which. Also...they probably don't know how trucks have to scale until they've had plenty of pissed off return drivers so if it's a youngster...

What's is this... 'Too many straps' thing of which you speak? Are they tucked into winches? Then they fit... so they belong....

 

I would have used the same amount of straps. The only thing I would do differently is the way you secured the straps to the rub rail.

 

if you put extra straps on; how much time does it really cost?
I rather over secure than under secure/no such thing as tied on too well.

 

Dont worry about other guys securement. If u feel comfortable with no less than 3 straps then thats what u do. Tell boss man to pound sand . Those extra straps may just save ur life one day.

 

What’s with the straps on the back 1/2 of the load pulling to the ditch and the front half to the center line....?
