    The Pete. I only used the Star to pick up that one load and then waited for my Pete to come out of the shop and hook up to it.

    Man I haul some goofy shaped stuff but that's insane. Way too many straps for me. Good on ya though for doing all that to keep it on the deck. I think the most I've ever had on a single load was 20 or so including a bunch of 2" for some local stuff.

    It's actually not "hard".....it's like trying to figure out how to secure 20 small loads. The hard part is either running out of winches and portables, not having a winch where you want one, or not having a stake pocket where you need one. I think my next project is short chains to straddle the fenders like MJ posted.

    Was told skidded coils....ended up with 9 stand ups with 18 in spacing between coils. Ran short on lumber so settled with 12 in spacing and grouped the smaller coils together.
