Tips and Tricks of flatbedding

I don't always pull oversize but I have quick connect flag holders on all my trailers and the front of my truck also my signs are the kind with eyelets on all 4 corners and in the center top and bottom. I took long bolts and put them through the backs of the trailers and the front bumper and put wing nuts on them so when I put my signs on I put the bolt through the eyelet and thread on the wing nut. Bam flagged and tagged in just a few moments

 

I bet you learned that trick on harvest.

 

I got the idea there. As well as looking at other people's stuff

 

I must be the only person on earth who doesn't x strap insulation

 

I carry a small hand saw with me. I loaded at a place one night just before they left for the day. I start securing my load and realized that a piece of dunnage had slid out a couple feet. The shipper had left and I was stuck. I beat on it with my hammer and bar for a long time until I finally got it to break off. I have used it to cut down dunnage and cut down chunks of 2x4 to make blocking.

 

wouldnt a 10 inch piece of 5/16 or 1/4 inch chain with 2 hooks do the same thing?

 

No not really.

 

Hey Jumbo, Take another look at the pic yo posted with the chain end strap.
Did you see where the stake pocket has a weld starting to break lose where it's welded onto the main side of the trl?
