    ^Nothing like taking a hit to the "man parts."
    Sure my sig says I pull a van, but I've done 15 years of flatbedding. Wish I could go back but the doc says I need to be easier on my knee's, so to still live a dream I switched to van. Not as easy as it looks, your right mirror? Talk about a blind spot.

    Something I tell all my students: "Never look at the bungee you're stretching." I pull down and look away as I'm doing it.

    Keep us updated bro!

    Definitely enjoy reading the thread.

    I've been looking at Malone for some time as I wanna go o/o in the future and after talking to a few o/o there it seems to be a great place.

    Just be careful what you tell a broker, they'll cancel a deal faster than one can blink.

    tarp straps or bungee cords.

    cuz the forum is talking about bungees. LOL.

    and when it comes time to replace a worn or broken 30 foot strap. and you've still got 20 feet left.

    keep that 20 ffeet strap. cuz you'll get some short loads you wished you had shorter straps.
    15 feet is the shortest strap i keep.

    one of the reasons straps break is cause of guy over stretching them. Don't get me wrong we've all done it at some point, but really does a 15" strap need stretched 6'...?
