    Thousands, maybe millions of company drivers have driven their self to bankruptcy after that conversation. Not saying that would be you, but odds are against you. Especially now

    What a nightmare of a load. 19 straps and wish I had more.

    Got my rocks off this morning here in Angel Fire, NM. Got this lovely tarp job for the remainder of my drive to Spokane.

    I was proud of it sittin at Tinker AFB yesterday, soon as I hit the interstate it looked liked MC Hammer was on the trailer

    LOL.
    Rule of thumb.
    1 strap for every foot of deck. :)
    You need 48 - 53 straps. :eek:

    6 of these at just under 10 wide. We did 4 today and will finish tomorrow. Went a whopping 1.3 miles down the road. 20230822_101017.jpg 20230822_100946.jpg

    I once did a power only. $30 to move a trailer to the building next door. I did 47 trailers. Easiest money I’ve ever made.
