I bet the driver wished for more load securment

Depends on the strap, I had a set of six four inch rigger grade straps made that were 16k rated each. Suppose it would depend on the rating, some in the truck stops I have seen are only 9k rated.

Large round pipe in my opinion need more than just a rating securement.

 

Depends on the strap rating, you can get them up to 25k. 4 inch straps.

 

A strap for every 10 feet for this load is incorrect if it was not braced.

393.110 What else do I have to do to determine the minimum number of tiedowns?

1. In addition to the requirements of 393.106, the minimum number of tiedowns required to secure an article or group of articles against movement depends on the length of the article(s) being secured, and the requirements of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section.
2. When an article is not blocked or positioned to prevent movement in the forward direction by a headerboard, bulkhead, other cargo that is positioned to prevent movement, or other appropriate blocking devices, it must be secured by at least:
   1. One tiedown for articles 5 feet (1.52 meters)or less in length, and 1,100 lbs (500 kg) or less in weight;
   2. Two tiedowns if the article is:
      1. 5 feet (1.52 meters)or less in length and more than 1,100 lbs (500 kg) in weight; or
      2. Longer than 5 feet (1.52 meters)but less than or equal to 10 feet (3.04 meters) in length, irrespective of the weight.
   3. Two tiedowns if the article is longer than 10 feet (3.04 meters), and one additional tiedown for every 10 feet (3.04 meters) of article length, or fraction thereof, beyond the first 10 feet (3.04 meters) of length.
3. If an individual article is required to be blocked, braced or immobilized to prevent movement in the forward direction by a headerboard, bulkhead, other articles which are adequately secured or by an appropriate blocking or immobilization method, it must be secured by at least one tiedown for every 3.04 meters (10 feet) or article length, or fraction thereof.
4. Special rule for special purpose vehicles. The rules in this section do not apply to a vehicle transporting one or more articles of cargo such as, but not limited to, machinery or fabricated structural items (e.g., steel or concrete beams, crane booms, girders, and trusses, etc.) which, because of their design, size, shape, or weight, must be fastened by special methods. However, any article of cargo carried on that vehicle must be securely and adequately fastened to the vehicle.
