Chains, boomers and things
Can anyone tell me where the best place to buy chains, boomers and anything else I might need to haul with a flat bed. Thanks

If you want to find a retail store, check with Truckpro. They have stores in a number of locations. You can find winches, ratchets, binders and chains. They can order tarps if none are available. Their prices are competitive on everything but the tarps. Another is Northland, if you get in a bind. They have mail order and retail stores. They tend to be more expensive. Some trailer dealers sell equipment and at decent rates.

Get them before you need them. What I mean by that is say you're in Grand Junction, CO and get the chain up sign there's a small truck stop there and you're gonna pay through the Nose to get them.
Another thing-Keep your ears up on the CB for people selling theirs-Make sure you get the right size though for your tires.

Thanks everybody for all your responses. I appreciate it. I've had some people call them boomers and some call them binders. You call them tomotoes I call them tomatoes. :lol:
