As promised, here are some pics. My digital cam battery was dead so I took the pics with my cell phone. Hope they don't turn out too big to post and are clear enough to see.

I can look at your securements and tell you are a real flatbedder, not a construction company driver. They would have thrown a chain over the front bucket and a chain over the back bucket and called it good.
Watch the strap over the small bucket, it can get shredded where you have it.
I might be moving to Texas in a couple weeks, if you need someone to drive that Western Star on weekends let me know.

Wait till you get a load where one half the tire is not on the trailer.

I think that is why he has the corner protector on the bucket. It is hard to see but it is there.

Yep, you are correct. I have protectors on every point where the strap would touch metal.
