    Bungee cords? Just strap a piece of lumber on each side to hold the excess down and throw some straps over the load. It's what Western Express and hot shot trucking is teaching these days.

    I watched a few videos on YouTube from Central Oregon Trucking and they use rope. I was sold just by watching them and I don't even pull a flat, yet.
