    Sometime if ur freight is all the way to the edges then there is no way to get straps inside rub rail. There is nothing wrong with that if thats all u can do.

    No. That’s not requirement legally anymore. Split loading is fine also, just requires a few more straps.

    This is a different situation, what are those , shingles? Those bundles are glued together, so they won't walk out like the block. And weight wise, you have to split it like that unless you single out a couple.

    Well, then they cut back on that too. Years ago, anything in bags was usually glued. The shingles I hauled had glue on them. That was 20 years ago,,,

    Ditto what he said. You"ll run into that a lot if the trailer is only 96" wide
