    Can’t tell if it’s the banding that sucked or something else..

    I’m more than willing to chock this one up to driver error on my end. With that being said... I’m more than secured for weight. Have alternating pull. And secured the middle bundles. So I’m not sure what I exactly missed. Probably just didn’t tighten them enough? Who knows

    My secret for the smaller conduit is pretty simple. When I winch down the straps, I do so like an enraged neanderthal.

    Hotter’n a crack pipe on payday.

    Unloading this afternoon on the north side of the location. That southwest breeze was just strong enough to blow the heat off all 16 frac pumps right over me. I always keep the engine fan running when I unload, but today I was seriously able to control engine temp with the pressure I was unloading with.

    And there you have it...

    They were tight but certainly not bend the bar tight.

    Don’t know what I was thinking. I do pipe all the time... maybe because I was bending the life outta them I stopped too soon.

    Live and learn. I put two 2” straps on it pulling it back to the driver side... and I winched these down with everything I got. I’ll be ###### if I gotta call a forklift tomorrow...

    At home now. Heading out Sunday with my queen for a day trip to the tantalum mine. Starting the week out running lime to the mine, then picking up more lime on Wednesday for Brandon with the trains.
