    l'm not sure about 4x8 steel but with lumber, 5' max between straps. l would put one chain snug across the front of each bundle in case you have to slam on the brakes. Just imagine a bundle of 4x8 sheets cutting your tractor in two pieces, upper and lower.

    No straps.... Just chains, minimum of 4 total... But 7 would satisfy me better... Plus bulkheads.

    Kemosabi49, the kitten or puppy might be a free gift but the responsibility for their care is now yours what ever the cost for life or you find them a forever home.
    In our home we take care of every animal whether a pet or livestock. l will go hungry before any of my pets or livestock would go hungry. They also get any vaccinations and annual veterinarian checkup.

    I agree... But if it comes to choosing between food for family and food for livestock. Thats when the livestock becomes food for the family... Either through sale or slaughter.

    Many, many times.

    My favorite load was the first I did in the new 680.

    Maybe 200lbs of sheeting maybe 6 feet long. Run up to Flagstaff and back. Then off too queen creek for rebar. I flew up I17.

    Last minute rush job too a site. The folks at Verco were told i was coming and threw the load on while they were handing me my paperwork. Took about 5 minutes and I was out. It was fun.

    Think i delivered something, to that steel place too, one of my multi stops from PDM steel out of vegas.

    I could use a free nature assisted truck wash. Running I10 like a madman leaves me without so much time to do so. And our wash bay has been down last two weeks.

    the Woohan Red Death rash on my nuts?
    Yeah, the same person who caused it, fixed it.
    She read somewhere that it was a good idea to put vinegar in with your whites, (my underwear).
    It's not.
    She rubbed some Bennedril on it and I was good as new in a couple of days.

    Thank you ever so much for your concern for my nads........

    If you'd use colored underwear you wouldn't have this problem. Stop being so selfish.
