You can totally get a ticket for using a bad strap even if you got your aggregate covered. I've been told that they can even put you oos for it. Not sure on the validity of that that

 

Remove the bad strap, still legally secured, no reason for OOS...

 

I've been told bad straps were good before. First truckstop I came to I had to stop and take a crap and some jerk always ends up cutting the bad strap. Darn. Well its definitely no good now.

 

Then once you have all good straps protect them and lock them up like your butt virginity depends on it.

 

That's the annoying part of dragging different wagons. Drag one for a week, get it organized, toss junk in dumpster. Start all over on Monday new wagon

What really gets me is I won't find the cut until after I've tossed it over.

 

I ran a large diameter pipe load like that once. They insisted I put 4x4's for the third on top, I used three and wish a put a lot more. Running I-35E from Dallas to Denton it put a lot of stress on those boards. Cracked two of them.

I understood why they loaded it that way when I got to the receiver. A comparatively tiny forklift played teeter totter unloading them.

 

Always the same tractor? Gather 5 to 10 good straps and keep them in the tractor. Only use if you need them.

Thursday morning laugh time.

My website has analytics, pretty amazing stuff to me- who, what the search term was, etc. With voice search some of the terms are pretty funny as opposed to someone that types them in.
Last night had a visitor, search term was....."How do I find high paying lowboy loads"

Why didn't I think of that?

 

Yes sir....corners and 3" straps, 3" portables, 2" portables, under the bunk is jammed. Spare toolbox on the cat walk jammed full too. Thanks
