    Another engine and a whole bunch of parts in crates that couldn't be stacked for next week. Kinda want to buy a new 8ft drop in black just so it matches but I also would rather just not have to use any.

    I found using old tire cut up so you have some tread and sidewall about 12” worked great for skidded coils. The bit of curve to the tire let them cinch up nice and evenly when tightening the cross straps. I usually used three on the front and back skid then two on each middle skid

    My trailer has a center j hook track, so I like to put a j hook down in the eye of the front and rear coil.
    That allows me to run a chain straight across the coil, down into and back out of the eye. X straps also.
    I like that a lot better than just x straps and a trip chain/strap.

    I have to say , we create ourselves. We need to be positive , and think, always of what we are that is good or what we want to become. It isn't healthy to say bad things about ourselves. We believe ourselves, we will go the way we say we are.
    Thank You Drivers all so much.

    Back to the ordinary…more fall off from the heavy haul team, bound for NC now on Monday thanks to LA road work.

    I-10 Eastbound was shut down for a bit because they needed to relocate traffic barrels. Why they do this in the afternoon I’ll never comprehend….
