    also just curious what you guys keep on your truck as far as flatbed equipment like bulkheads and bungees and small straps and things like that. also what type of boots? i have slip on with good soles and also a pair of hawthorne whites that are logger style that are awesome.

    equipment wise systems should set you up good, as for bungee's i carry 100 31" stretch, but am looking at getting shock cord for my tarps,

    get some WD40 or similar for your ratchet binders to keep them working good,

    i wear Sketchers with non slip sole most of the time, and have a pair Justins steel toe for when they are required to get into a job site or mine, nothing more funny to me when a bedder doesn't have all the PPE he needs and ask if he can "borrow" mine, and i never lend mine out kinda gross i think.

    they will probably give you a safety vest and hard hat

    i have 10 2" ratchet straps (i like the brand pacific cargo) and 15 4" straps

    13 3/8 chains and binders

    several good will blankets for tarp protection,

    Systems use to use Ace Tarps for there tarps if they still do they are very nice quality

    i havn't found a good rain gear yet but im still looking you get wet no matter what

    several pair of gloves

    Mess of crap I picked up today. Took them 5 hours to load and its been a PITA since. Everything has shifted at least once and I lost a few edge protectors from the straps coming loose. And the 50mph didn't help the cause either. I hate loads like this !!!!
