    Well, they ruled the bungee(tarp straps) weren't of sufficient WLL to hold equipment. Tarp maybe, since there's so many of them, but not for wood, etc, they're too easy to break...which is why the little ratchet straps are the way to go.

    Dunnage is strapped with a 2” FYI



    I just don’t know where he’s going to store all the new dunnage, that shiznatt is expensive and I want him to bring it back haha

    Then you need to give him a dunnage rack on the side of the trailer or on the headache rack, so he can carry his 'standard' amount for what work he needs to do, and then can store any new scavenged stuff from loads in the landing gear area to bring back to you. It would make financial sense to invest in those two things now, to make your driver's life easier to do the job he needs to and to have storage that will benefit you. I know I wish I still had my hardwood oak lumber when I worked at my last employer when hauling the heavy metal stuff...that is some good wood that was supplied with every load, and the receiver back then didn't want it...but...I had no storage on the truck to bring it back. :dontknow:

    He has frame rails underneath he can store wood.

    Both sides on the outside are full already.

    The yellow temporary straps from the shipper is what tipped me off. I cut them off after i tighten mine down though, they were loose.. Good place to load. Mine was loaded in one lift... was yours? Best part was the truck stop a mile down the road. Good tacos!! 20220215_202212.jpg
