Alright, awesome. I wish i hadn't purchased the 3...4 inch ones i have now lol. But I suppose you can never have too many. I figure I will order a few more 2 inch ones then as I only have (6) 2x30 (3) 3x30 and now...(3) 4x30.
As for the tarps, is there a more specific kind that people like? They water proof? And now it will be on a 38 foot trailer as a 40 foot was too long and put me over the 65 foot rule. =-/
Ratchet Straps and Tarps for a 40' trailer, what do I need?

Is there a best place to buy straps, chain/binders, and tarps?
-
Their shipping is based off of the weight. So, it can get pricey.nvmyrc51 Thanks this. -
Mytee's got good stuff but my new favorite straps come from autohauler supply. Check out the diamond weave ones. Super tough material.. -
Wanna buy a nice 2014 Load-Max. It was custom built at 39' deck length to specifically keep my rig under the 65' rule. Keeps you legal with any crew cab long box..

I run a 3500 ram with a 35+5PJ ratwd at 29500lbs. It is equipt with sliding 4" straps and 8 5/16x 20 foot chains and binders. As for tarps I carry one 24 foot 6 foot drop tarp and wentto lowes and bought a cheapy just in case the load is a bit longer.
I would calculate all your operating expenses and find out per mile you have to make to break even and add 10% (that would be on the low side) or simpley try to stick to 2- 3.50 per mile. You should make some money at rhat rate. -
Also make sure the straps you do buy. Have the rating's on them. If not DOT will look up the low weight for that size strap or chain. And you can find yourself. With a ticket, for not having enough Strap's or chains to do the job.
Seen a guy last week in town here. He had 6 harbor freight stap's on his load. It looked to be a heavy load. So sure he was not a happy camper after he got the tickets.
