    In reefer? No straps except two in tractor and 4 load locks and even then those don't get used very much, shippers like to use air bags now in between pallet and wall. And medicines are only knee high in wrapped pallets so there is nothing to secure. Just delicate. If you have those little tiny glass vials of demerol by the hundreds in a bundled pallet, its going to add up to hell of alot of money.

    I have 5 load locks and about 10 straps. We do van and reefer, so the load locks are for the reefer, and the straps are mostly for John Deere and Polaris loads. Its a lot faster to unload John Deere using straps versus pulling nails and blocks every stop
