    I carry 15 straps 19’ long (quicker and easier on short freight) and maybe 20 regular straps. The problem is trailer only has 15 winches. Only one stake pocket winch, and 4 handheld 2” straps.

    I want to buy more pocket winches but they are like $85 with tax.

    That truck has been to my warehouse area in West Melbourne, Florida about two or three times over the past month. Gets offloaded within 10-15min.

    Started seeing this guy park at mile marker number 191 off of 95 in Viera Florida at the Walmart rest area. Nice looking 579 Peterbilt, but not as nice as the W900 as I posted above.

    I’ve never heard of Day and Ross. He seems to be pulling pods lately. Also, there’s the full view of the nice Kenworth W900. Last but not least I believe that 579 Ultraloft is an owner op.

    Well, if you want, these are a cheaper option and a lot more flexible and usable anywhere on the trailer. :) This is the answer. Varying sizes so you don't have to layout the cost for all 4", you can vary it with 2" and 3" rachet combos.

    I see a lot of Canadian trucks using 3” straps instead of 4 and I’m pretty sure they have the same WLL. Not sure how, maybe they’re stronger material?
