    I ordered two dozen e-track ratchet straps at www.ratchetstraps.com about four years ago when I started at Landstar. They're just as good as any I'd previously bought at truck stops. As I recall, I think they were about seven or eight dollars each plus shipping.

    Nice how would u go about strapping them down? U just keep them from going back and forth or is there a way to actually strap them down to the floor.. I haul dry van every once in a blue moon but they are always sealed up

    no way to strap them down on floor. Sometime I put rubber mat under big boxes and strap them on walls using e-tracks . if box is heavy I use two straps. Sometime I put empty pallets in front of boxes so they will not go forward and put straps to prevent going back. Different loads have different scenarios of putting straps.

    not everything is bad in that store. Pittsburg branded tools are ok. I have used jacks, shop cranes and impact sockets. Good quality.

    Honestly I love that place for specialized tools. I just don't trust them after the first job but hey you still get your money's worth.
