<p>[QUOTE="Lite bug, post: 12106868, member: 143163"]Flat hooks are better. The j hooks are harder to work with. J hooks will work with a D ring however not knowing what your with of your pieces you will be loading. The 30ft straps are needed when loading tall and 8 ft wide piece. I will use the best price point straps. Because I load light weight stuff I can only use a few straps but if you need it you need it. I started not knowing anything about trucking. Didn’t know how to secure freight. I tended to over strap. I would look at different flat deck loads and how they did it. Now you can go on YouTube and see how these guys are doing it. Watch how the Tarps are tied down. Tarps in the winter is a pain, you have to be careful in Winter and Tall loads on windy days can be dangerous.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
