Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

No worries bro . I know what u meant and it is backwards .. lol I will say a guy can only do it this way if securing with rope/bungee cord .. regular bungees don't get tight enough and will catch wind underneath it.
i always had a problem with the sides ballooning out when I would do it the correct way and this seems to have fixed that problem

 

I just pulled a tarped load today that was ballooning right at the front. I always do it backwards of how you had it and I figured I’d try your way, but I always use bungee cords so may not work.

 

Finally got a nice long haul to enjoy, picked up reels in SC and taking them to OR. It’s been nice to have something on the deck for a few days and just drive, it’ll be interesting to see how they route me back east .

 

If u can get the bungee fairly tight it will be ok . Just if u hit a cross wind it's going to catch a but of wind amd start ballooning

 

is that 12 full sized chains + 12 binders on that load? I've never done those.

 

5,760 pickets headed to Jacksonville FL.

 

Phoenix Tube out of Pennsylvania

 

It is, this is an inter company transfer load so the reels are heavy and a single chain would have been borderline so hey a little more weight lifting never hurts right lol.

 

Lot of air under those straps.....

 

ya, big time. The shipper put little tiny 2x4s segments under a variety of different sized bundles. Placed in order of the 3 drops. Not ideal. The best I could think of was to add 3 opposing choke straps to help cinch it together and add a bulkhead. It made it to Oregon no problem.
