How does body weight help you?

I hear ya. I only weigh 180... During securement there are times I wish I had a little more...

 

it does come in handy, i'm 290 i generally don't have a problem with getting things tight enough sometimes too tight(?)

 

I'm only 190# myself, but being 6'2" helps a lot with leverage. Plus I have a cheater bar for my cheater bar

And this is also why I only use ratcheting binders. A 7yr old girl could rip a pipe spool out with one (tho I would only compare myself to a 6yr old)

 

Not enough "lard in the rear"...those winds might blow your arse off that skate board when tarping.....

How do you think these numb-nut para-gliders got the idea? They saw some skinny arsed flatbedder that wouldn't let go of the tarp...floating away......HEY DOROTHY, I'M RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!!!

At 270 sometimes I get a snap binder so tight I get scared when it is time to take them back off.

 

im with you their, and when you do get them loose look out

 

LOL 260 here, I had a snap binder that needed moved to a different position so off it had to come. The driver setting beside of me jumped when it cracked like all get out. Sometimes I think they do not need to be so tight.

 

It is amazing to watch you get that 6'2" frame in and out of that 2'6" cab.
Speaking of 6 year olds, beware of 6 year olds in Wamsutter, Wyoming carrying shotguns. I took one of the seats off their seesaw, in 1979, to attach to my winchbar so my 200 pounds can get my straps nice and tight and have fun doing it. They weren't using it, at the time, of course that may be because it was their nap time, so I decided to put it to good use for mankind, well mostly me. The rest of you can steal (oops, aquire) your own seesaw seats.

 

You heavy guys will never work for PRIME . 100 extra lbs. costs .00002 mpg
