The Deal

I'm working on a securement information section for the new hauler.
This post gives an ideal of the working load limit of each type strap.
All constructive help is apprecaited.

That is a good idea. It will surely hep them.

Flatbed 1991

I know I started running a skateboard in 91 and I had a hard way to go.
Over the years I got pretty good at it.
I weighed 111 lbs. when I started on flat and had BIG lumber tarps. I had hell. there was no pulling them to straighten. I learned to roll them up right and center them to tarp a load. There is nothing worse than to tarp in a blowing snow just to get down the road and tarps are so loose you cant see around them in the mirror. lol
For a small frame person the rachet binders were heaven sent. No more binder bar and loose loads. I lost a Diamond tip drilling tool one time. Expensive lesson.

I am in hopes to save some driver the agony.

that's the purpose of these fourm's. To learn and discuss knowledge. I started out in the mid sixties on reefers. Ran them for years coast to coast. Then I went to flatbeds and doubles running OR, WA and CA.

It's an ever day learning experience no matter how long you have been at it.

This is a good post, the entire section is good. I bet some old timers can learn something they didn't know in here.

I too have a dislike for tarping. As big as I am it is still a pain in the butt, especially with odd shaped loads and high winds and cold. I have had my problems with loose tarps as well. Buy good tarps with plenty of eyelets and save a lot of headaches.

Carry some nails, hammer, and lumber. Some times they come in handy.

Straps with NO Markings

I forgot to mention. Equipment with no markings are rated at the lowest rateing level for there type. Over the years I have had alot of unmarked equipment. Keep this in mind.

Is there any difference between flat hook and wire hook or is it just preference?
bth9461

Most of the wire hooks will not fit between the rub rail and the trailer. DOT if they get picky want the straps inside the rub rail. The Flat hooks allow you to get inside of the rub rail. It is nice to have a couple of wire hooks to hook on to some things that a flat hook can't grab though. I have mostly flats but carry a few wire hooks.

And, if you use a hook, if the load flexes then it's possible for it to come un-hooked. Been there, done that. Hate them unless it's the only thing you can use.

I prefer the flat hook so you can run it through the rub rail and double back on it.
