    That’s what I’ve always done if/when they didn’t use blocks. I used to haul a lot of rebar with a previous outfit and I remember it always took me twice as long to secure as the other guys because I was the only one who would take the time and effort to climb onto my trailer and weave my straps. Everyone else would just throw straps over the top and hammer down.

    To be fair, with rebar having that rough texture, you have to stop pretty dang hard to get it to slide... but that was a chance I never wanted to take.

    That's what you get when the award goes to the lowest bidder. Any luck DOT will spot it and he'll get to pay for the privilege of a state education on securement.

    At least 35,000. I know the hook lift Hemmts are about 40,000 plus or so.
