Also you can see I had left my 4x4 coil rack timbers on the trailer when I brought it to be loaded. They didn't want to run the other trailer until it had been cleared of damage from the rollover so I brought my trailer and left it for the tow guys to band the lumber and load the deck. I told them about the 4x4 for the front and the back and they did it just right... Not a ton of slope but just enough.

Last random thought.
There's a hand saw called a Japanese pull saw. I highly recommend getting 1 even if it's cheap. That's what I made the slot cut in the PVC...but more useful than that...
See the sticker boards they lay across the bundles? Your lumber had them in the strap bands. But at a lumber mill they sometimes use loose sticks. And sometimes the bundles have little wedges for straightening green wood.
Both those instances plus other random times I see sticks poking out the side of the load and if it's getting a tarp I use the pull saw to cut them flush so they don't chew tarps or straps.
Long reach and fast cut.
Yes I need to vacuum lolHoneyBadger67, truckguy391, cke and 3 others Thank this. -
This is a crappy cropped old photo of a truck I just recently retired. A 260" wb day cab specifically so that I could get the bridge formula needed to haul large loads and 60' beams without a permit. Due to the lengths of lumber in that load I put 46' worth on the bottom tier and had to center up one bundle towards the front to make the weight work.cke, superdutyfan and God prefers Diesels Thank this. -
