    Take that extra that you folded and stick it behind so its pinned between the strap and the trailer. The way you have it now will come out soon as you start rolling

    Yeah I thought that might happen, that’s how I’ve done all my other ones (behind the strap), maybe I just misinterpreted tibbits’ method

    You have the right idea it just needs to be flipped around. I personally dont use that method.

    I roll them up around the winch, that's just how I like it and have always done it. Just personal preference. Nothing wrong with either way.

    This time I came in through the rear (don’t laugh) when I fed the strap through the winch 144637B6-1A23-4534-A30D-63192A774FB4.jpeg CA71E281-D2F9-49C9-BCD0-CF62CAA06727.jpeg

    Your getting the right idea. Take your hands and push them all together so everything is in nice formation before you fully tighten it. Nice & Neat.

    And that strap looks to have a cut/fringe in it, I can't tell how deep it is but you gotta watch that, otherwise if the DOT sees that you might be getting some unwanted attention... Might be time to toss that strap in the trash.

    WE should be providing without question good working securement equipment for you considering you're a company driver.

    Maybe soon you'll get a trip passing through the terminal in Nashville so you can stock up on essentials needed to succeed out here.
