What's wrong with it?
I had a heavy haul guy laughing at it tonight getting fuel. It actually didn't ride too badly.

 

It was kind of fun right?

 

The augers are a mess to tie down. The one stack leaned over, luckily towards the middle of the trailer. But yes it's a good challenge. Better than shingles or bricks.

@Ruthless I had to go for a u-turn on I41 this morning, but picked up a basically brand new Kinedyne 4" strap.

 

Did you pull from both sides on that stack?

I get some loads from my direct shipper that aren't friendly to pull to one side. I don't have winch track on both sides of my trailer. I start out throwing straps to the opposite side of my winches and tighten them down with portables. Then I throw straps from the opposite side and crank them down hard with my winches.

 

No I didn't. I had a 3" and a 2" on it. The other stack I had 3 2" and it didn't shift. I'll try that though, I like @cnsper idea of a strap with no ends. I was also thinking of @Chewy352 and his moving blankets as strap protectors, too. Fold it to the right size and put it on top, then straps.

 

Flighting or screws as some call them like you hauled are tricky to protect the straps from sharp edges. You have to throw them and tighten the straps then back them off to see where they will lay to know exactly where you will need protection.

 

That makes sense. I thought either a moving blanket or 4-6 feet of fire hose would work well too.

What about the larger ones? There are 3 on that skid I think.
I took them and shoved them in a bucket at the next stop.

 

Looks like you did ok.

There is always a way to make it work.

 

I need to put my moving blankets back in the truck. I had been using them to cover the carpet while I painted my daughter's room. Mudflaps work well for a lot of stuff too and they're free at most truckstops. The truckstops with tall curbs usually have several laying around. I've even found several at shippers with big potholes.
