The plastic pipe that is "crated" is less likely to shift but the bigger stuff that's usually just banded together has a higher chance to shift. Doesn't mean it will but it can. I bet the guys that have steel go through the cab when they stop never had it happen before either. Just saying...

 

Got her pointed towards Texas

 

Loaded the same stuff I brought out to Cali, headed back to FL...

 

Yes! Those are on the list, I just haven't managed yet. I'm also going to install a winch rail on the passenger side. I want the pocket winches for over top my trailer tires.

Here's today. Not many miles, but almost eight bucks each, and got me to the town I wanted to 34 in. I mean, I'll 34 in a cardboard box under an overpass if I have to, but this place has tons of parking, and diesel is $2.53 per gallon.

 

That is a nice well stacked mulch/soil load there!

 

What’s with the netting in the front? Did the shipper put that on there or is that yours? I’ve always wondered if something like that exists. I mean I’ve seen smaller ones on pickup trucks but never on a big truck. Seems it would come in pretty handy for some of those sketchy pallets we all love to deal with.

 

That’s cargo netting over an air freight pallet. Pretty standard stuff for air shipments. Designed to secure stuff to a big aluminum plate that rolls on cargo aircraft

 

Air Force load. They use these pallets for air cargo, and the netting secures the freight to the pallet. They can literally "drop ship" a pallet right out of the sky.

 

What wrong with hand ratchets? I carry 12 4” and around 6-8 2” hand ratchets. I’ve never seen anything those pocket winches can do that I can’t do with a hand ratchet, but there’s plenty of times a pocket winch would be of no use.

 

Not trying to argue, but what is a situation you've been in that a pocket winch wouldn't work but a hand ratchet did? Wanting to know for my own education.
