    Yeah I have 7 standing and 7 cut to size the front two are one of each was able crisscross since it only had 3 points per strap hitting the sharp edges. But have 6 at the back put 2 straps per row pulling lightly towards the way they are leaning and one on the uprights at the back pulling forward. Wish these was boxed in for sure.
    Half tank and at 78900 they listed it as 47500 so they guessed close.

    I hauled a load like that from PA to CO one time. I put V-Boards across the pallets trying to make as many contact points as possible then threw straps over it. I made twice as many stops on the the way as I usually would to check the straps. They even held up when some idiot tried ripping off my drivers door with his RV in a construction zone. The only other load I had like that was in 1x4 crates.

    Well I never updated here but I made it without lossing anything nothing shifted and only frayed one strap. As fr8wurx made way more stops than normal ti check it all out. Love them pool noddles they have worked great on many loads so far ib both edge protection and to increase down pressure.

    tsavory- Brenny's gonna lose that customer soon.. If they keep Foolin around with Lurvey's Money like they do.

    Anything out of Binghamton,Fort ann,Whitehall,and Montrose are all Stone Loads going to Park City, Des Plaines, Volo and Many other Midwest customers.....

    I'll bet they offered you $950 on 750 miles.. When Freight invoice is $1450.00 on that.

    I know this is an old thread but I was in the same boat and this is how I ended up doing it . Nvm photo size is too large I just but my dunnage on top and strapped it that way.
