    TX to TX. They're for a bridge. Pallet is the bearing plates. I swear something doesn't seem right about my strap job. Getting some weird vibes. I'm going to throw a couple wraps on the bottom. Really makes me think it could just slide out of there on a hard corner, even though it won't.

    Better I think.

    I’m surprised they let you strap where there’s no dunnage.

    I agree. I would have never strapped the center at all. Good way to bust them in half.

    School me here then. I need a strap every ten feet. They placed the dunnage. And if I can break them in half, then how the heck can they use them to build a bridge? Serious questions.

    Special manufacturers excemption. Something like that you just need to use the correct number of straps, only very close to the dunnage. Such as three straps over the dunnage at each end.
