Load Securement Time

Okay, 1st you dont have near enough bungees. 2nd, put your straps over the tarp to hold it down if you don't have enough bungees. I dont give a flying F what anyone else says, you tarp and secure how you need to. That is gonna be a huge sail going down the road.

 

I can't remember what this load was, but its secured the same way shingles would be.

 

Oh no....
(I know I am going to sound like a buster, and I really don't want to, but...)

When they assigned you your truck, was the truck stocked with all the equipment or did you have to load it up yourself? I don't know anything about WE, but I would have assumed that they gave you an inventory list of what's on the truck. You need to have 100 bungees on hand. Secondly, the very first thing you do when they give you a tarp, be it brand new or used, is unfold it and fold it your way. If you would have done that, you would have realized that tarp is missing the majority of the D rings. It is almost worthless on a short load. You don't want to show up at a customer with surprises like that. That's bad for business.

I understand, you're brand new. This is just for future reference.

EDIT: For you guys who own your tarps, they sell little clamp on o rings that will allow you to tighten down a tarp that's missing entire d ring strips like the one pictured.

 

No offense to 64, but six as you know....its common sense to inventory your equip every trip. That way your ready the next load.

 

Got a link for these?

 

You could have put that tarp on the rear with the flap part that's all ripped up towards the cab of the truck ( backwards basically) and then when you put the 2nd tarp on the front it would have overlapped that back tarp anyhow and the ripped part would be covered up.

Probably not the best explanation... Hopefully not confusing you...
