Would look something like this except the top pipe on mine is smaller.
Loader when I picked this up wanted to load like yours with 4x4 dunnage under the small pipe and I wouldn't let him. Probably would have been fine if I had hardwood but at the time I only had some cheap pine boards. The receiver complained but still unloaded it.

I'm curious if I satisfied the 2 tie downs in the first 10 feet rule. If I had 4 chains at the ends, and one strap at the 9 foot mark, I think I'm ok?Razororange Thanks this. -
I've never been a huge fan of having freight on boards that have a large gap under them. Too much of a chance that board could have small cracks and break while driving.PeteyFixAll, DDlighttruck, MJ1657 and 2 others Thank this. -

From that understanding is why I generally have 3 straps on an 8' unit on my front deck.
Tho I see pretty commonly guys use just 2 in the same scenario.
I don't generally do pipe the length shown just recently here, but would expect I'd secure it similar to crane parts using a bunch of securement in the vicinity of the dunnage at each end, or on each side of the dunnage wherever it is for pipe.
Thoughts, pipe haulers?Logan76, PeteyFixAll, DDlighttruck and 4 others Thank this. -

We were tested on this a couple times. Six handed out the quiz. Cnsper helped with the grading. There probably are exceptions, but 2 in the first 10, and 1 for "every" 10 feet after is what I go by. Cnsper made sure to illustrate it's not "at" every 10 feet, but "for" every 10 feet.

Two "for" the first ten feet, not necessarily "in" the first ten feet.TripleSix, DDlighttruck and Crusader66 Thank this. -
3 for an 8 foot piece is not necessary legally, but it sure isn't hurting anything.street beater, snowman_w900, Crusader66 and 1 other person Thank this.
