These pieces of steel pipe are about 4’ long, they weight about 1200#’s each. I know the first piece in front need 2 straps, however, what about the ones that follow ? Seen one individual that used 2 in front, single on all in the middle and 2 at the end. I didn’t chance it and had time to spare. So I did 2 on each.

Need 2 per piece unless they are blocked or braced from forward movement.

If they were 100lbs lighter you could legally only use 1.

Now the real question: is a cop going to be able to tell what each piece weighs on the side of the road?

393.110(b)(2)(i)

393.110 What else do I have to do to determine the minimum number of tiedowns?
(a) When tiedowns are used as part of a cargo securement system, the minimum number of tiedowns required to secure an article or group of articles against movement depends on the length of the article(s) being secured, and the requirements of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section. These requirements are in addition to the rules under § 393.106.

(b) When an article is not blocked or positioned to prevent movement in the forward direction by a headerboard, bulkhead, other cargo that is positioned to prevent movement, or other appropriate blocking devices, it must be secured by at least:

(1) One tiedown for articles 5 feet (1.52 meters) or less in length, and 1,100 pounds (500 kg) or less in weight;

(2) Two tiedowns if the article is:

(i) 5 feet (1.52 meters) or less in length and more than 1,100 pounds (500 kg) in weight; or

(ii) Longer than 5 feet (1.52 meters) but less than or equal to 10 feet (3.04 meters) in length, irrespective of the weight.

(3) Two tiedowns if the article is longer than 10 feet (3.04 meters), and one additional tiedown for every 10 feet (3.04 meters) of article length, or fraction thereof, beyond the first 10 feet (3.04 meters) of length.

(c) If an individual article is blocked, braced, or immobilized to prevent movement in the forward direction by a headerboard, bulkhead, other articles which are adequately secured or by an appropriate blocking or immobilization method, it must be secured by at least one tiedown for every 3.04 meters (10 feet) of article length, or fraction thereof.

(d) Special rule for special purpose vehicles. The rules in this section do not apply to a vehicle transporting one or more articles of cargo such as, but not limited to, machinery or fabricated structural items (e.g., steel or concrete beams, crane booms, girders, and trusses, etc.) which, because of their design, size, shape, or weight, must be fastened by special methods. However, any article of cargo carried on that vehicle must be securely and adequately fastened to the vehicle.

I would have used 2 straps each like you did, if for no other reason than to make it look good. Only takes an extra couple minutes to make it look good!

About the only thing I would have done differently, is to not alternate the straps on each unit. Would have pull one way on a single piece. Alternating on small pieces like that puts a twisting force on them. Still a good job.
