    From what I can tell of the crating design and materials used, and that they were double-stacked, no way you could move those from Birmingham to Shreveport without damage, no matter how one may have secured the load. Air ride or spring ride trailer.

    Did you even bother to read his first post? He picked the load up from his company drop yard. He has been on his own for two weeks.

    That’s all we need to know. If he went straight through on 20, he’d have had to go less than 5 mph not to damage the load.

    crates to weak to be stacked.
    strap the rearmost to keep from coming out door and leave so shipper can see the end result.

    30+ yrs doing this same stuff.

    I believe I would secure them one at a time as there being loaded, Don't sweat it too much there's not one of us here with experience that have not made more than our shares of mistakes, learn and move on.

    My rule of thumb van or flats, secure in a way that you could tip it over and nothing will move.
     
    Just passing by, ladr and Lonesome Thank this.
