New to flatbed load securing. Is there some form of devise that helps with throwing a heavy strap over the top of the load. It seems half of my throws end up on top and not clearing to the other side.

Just buy some cord and tie a nut to end and throw it over the load, then tie straps to end and pull straps over load and it will help you get load tied down much faster!

Don’t hook the strap before you toss it over. Try standing a back from the trailer a step or two more.

I was shown a similar trick where you kinda use the strap as a catapult. I never got the hang of it.
I need to - my right shoulder is a bit of a mess, pretty sure the job has a lot to do with it.pete781693, Klleetrucking, OLDSKOOLERnWV and 8 others Thank this. -
It looks funny and the video is made dorky but it does work I have a messed up shoulder and it works for me

I use this method when I really need to launch a strap. I use the method from the other video for shorter distances, and when I need real precision, like if I'm throwing it between tight spaces. That other video is hilarious by the way.
