Thanks for the correction. As I said some one told me that years ago and I never verified it.

 

@Hurst . How much of a cut did your group of trainees see when they wrote you up for it?

 

2 maybe 3 mm. A small bit of fraying. Nothing to get excited about.

Mr. Hurst.......Are you telling us you have a new ride?

 

You got all that from me saying my straps had a small nick huh?

As for the new ride,.. yes.

Been working on the truck all summer. DOT inspected back in Oct. Took delivery of my new trailer last week and finally out here fooling people into thinking I am actually successful with a nice pretty truck and nice pretty trailer.

2nd day out and I got flashed some very nice ta ta's. Thank you hun,.. who ever you are.

Sorry @Hurst I couldn't resist!!!

 

In the CVSA Out Of Service Criteria (link, pg. 33-34 *opens to pdf file):

"The tiedown contains cut(s), burn(s), and/or hole(s) through the webbing which total more than that shown in the Defect Classification Table.

4" (100mm) strap = 3/4" (19mm)

All cut(s), burn(s), and/or hole(s) through the webbing are additive across the width of the strap face for its entire effective length. But only one defect is additive for any specific width."

According to the diagram table, cuts along the same edge of the strap are not added together, but cuts on the one edge, in the middle and the opposing edge are. So as long as each cut is less than 3/4" along one edge of the strap, you're good, but as soon as they are in more than one place across the face, they all add up together.

I don't like guessing with this stuff (especially now that I'm my company's official driver trainer), I always go to the source.

 

Thank you. That's exactly what i was trying to say.
