Is this flatbed load strapped secure enough?

Well that escalated quickly

 

Probably happened on Jabroni Street

Getting some popcorn now.

@Chinatown this one has your name written all over it, lol.

 

Anyone else get the irony of the strap at the front of the trailer that is secured over the empty deck rather than the load in the top picture?

 

Knowing it’s wood under there it’d be a strong no. One strap per bundle?

 

Dude wtf .. tell me this didn't just happen after u posted the first pic...
Now that we know it's lumber, then no it's no properly secured. U are going to want 2-4 straps per bundle depending how long the boards are.. I always put 4 over the front bundles and 3 over all the rest..

Hopefully ur alright

 

No.

You only had 1 strap over the rear 2 bundles in a single layer on the rear of the deck. You even had the necessary strap/winch available but decided to use it to secure nothing on the front of the trailer.

The rest you were technically legal but you had the bare minimum number of tie downs on those 3 stacks.

I personally would at least put 1-2 straps between each layer so the lower bundles would be secured separately from the upper layer.

 

U aint kidding .. lmao Didn't even have time to make a bowl of popcorn

 

I can't imagine there are many options after a rollover at western distress.

 

I hope its not the driver who posted the pics and this thread. Ha. Right over to flatbed hall of shame he or she will go, I imagine.

 

I saw that but at first I thought it was just a strap left on the winch, which wouldn't surprise me at all.
