With a headerboard the solid front structure will stop the load from sliding into the cab with you, so all you need to do legally is keep it from sliding back when you accelerate.
Securing 10% of 8 tons calls for a strap rated at 1600 pounds, which I imagine your strap is, However I would put on more straps if you have them. More is better. :wink:

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
-- J R R Tolkien
