<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Buc, post: 11532178, member: 100889&quot;]Assuming not much has changed since I was there last...TMC not only frowns upon leaving straps winches up on their trailers, they down upon leaving anything on their trailers, to the point they&#039;ll call in (and out) guys if they see them with tarps on their trailers. For them it&#039;s a safety issue (really it&#039;s an appearance issue--but who&#039;s counting?). Of course, with as often as they (and most fleets) switch out trailers, it&#039;s really not practical to leave straps winches on trailers.</p><p><br /></p><p>All that said, they do make an exception if a certain shipper requires it. When I was there, the Home Depot DC in Bloomfield CT (outside Hartford), once Western Express took it over, used to outright mandate that guys left 8 straps winched on the trailers along with two lumber tarps prior to dropping them.&nbsp; Right off hand I can&#039;t think of any other dedicated shippers that required that, but then that was also like 6 or 7 years ago.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
