John,on those coils at the back..............are that pieces off rubber you put under the straps?

 

Felt; all I had lol

 

Get extra cornerprotecters.
Straps don't slide very good on rubber and felt.
You might end up with a strap that is tight at 1 side but has little tension on the other side.

But you have come a long way.
Keep it up.
You will do fine.

 

Appreciate it, my c straps could use a little practice; I hauled two bigger ones the other day of the same kind

 

Ya chains front and rear pulling into the load plus a bump stop on both ends. Plus a vertical chain on the upper pipes pulling down and the cables running lengthwise. Seems to the accepted way to haul pipe here.

 

I carry about 40 pieces of mudflap cut at 6x18 for edge protection. Plastic edge protectors suck in my opinion. Never had an issue getting straps tight.

 

Rubber or hard plastic mudflap?

 

Always bugs me when they can't centre the material on the skid. You definitely got enough straps on there lol if they're tight together most times your allowed to have less straps on the middle skids. Make sure they're butted up tight against each other though.

 

Rubber. Mostly found at the bottom of deep potholes at truck stops. I even have a section of my headache rack for them. I use them under chains to protect finished surfaces, under heavy loads to protect the trailer and increase friction, between crossed chains, ect.

 

Another rainy day... yuck.

Speaking of yuck, here's today's #### pile:
