As quite a few people here can attest to, I have a photographic memory, a firm grasp on the search function, and an uncanny ability to recall useless information at the drop of a hat. |

Ya thanks for the tip. I've been doing this for a year and a half and no cuts yet. If you had not mentioned this I'll bet in 20 years I could have a rip if you hadn't said something.
I'm not sure what the difference is between a strap pulled lightly and rope or bungee cords??? |

One is the correct way, and the other isn't. Glad I could clear that up for you. |

| Oh well, I tried. I guess 24 years of flatbedding means nothing to a relative newbie. Good luck hauling that lumber and other cheap stuff steve. Do yourself and me a favor stay away from tool machinery and printing equip't unless it's crated, you're bound to drag my sector even further down than what has already been done by folks like you. :roll: |

With a reply like that, you don't honestly wonder why there is so much animosity toward you, do you?
:roll: :roll: :roll:
Take it from someone with no flatbed experience. Straps have an edge that will cut...ropes and bungees do not, even if they are pulled extremely tight.

Steve knows everything, and no one else has a clue.... :lol:
It has been fun reading his thread over at CDLofIt, he is wowing everyone like he did here at first, but there have been a few minor inaccuracies in his fable... I have been registered there since last fall under my real name... so it is fun to sit back and read his " story " and when he his feeling like a Super Trucker it will be time to bring up previous posts that prove he is clueless ..... :lol: :lol: :lol: Best of all.... no moderator protection for anybody..... :lol: :lol: :lol:
Keep posting Steve !!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: |

Now....just one cotton pickin minute here. Why are the three of ya gangin up on Steve over the manner in which he strapped his tarp? Even if Steve was using the straps to secure cargo, he is allowed to have up to 10% of the securement method "outside" the rubrail, by the 2004 standard.
As for the difference of using straps, rope or bungees to secure the tarp, in the manner that Steve's picture shows...Why do Y'all have a problem? It is not illegal, they are not your tarps, and even if Steve does something totally stupid, like rubbing up against a tunnel wall...like the guy TF was beside did (glad to know it was only a little ding that ya got TF, instead of the entire load btw), the loss of the strap does not pose a seriuos risk to anyone.....Unlike TF's boob, who coulda dumped the load.
BTW....Steves tarp job looks pretty well done...for a "Rookie".
If steve had all the straps outside the tarp, and the rub-rail as well, then maybe I could see lambasting him for it...but that just isn't the case...as you can clearly see in the picture. Fer gosh sake...the tarps don't even look like they touch the rub-rail. |

By the way, Steve, in your picture you are parked over the white line on a highway. Did you have an emergency? Did you have adequate triangles and were your hazards on? Have you prepared a suitable defense for your reasoning to taking the picture while parked over the white line?
:twisted: |
