Not that I'm a bad driver, but any one that has driven van knows what I'm talking about. I hope.
Anyway, I could really use some help learning this new field. I'm open to all tips on strapping, chaining, tarping. Thank you.
Don't sweat it man! In school we had a day course totally dedicated to load securement with 5 hours dedicated to securement on a flatbed. We used real steel coils, pipes, 275 gallon totes etc. Chains, binders, dunage, straps etc etc etc I was afraid it would go in one ear and out the other with a huge wealth of info. It's all actually very basic and mostly common sense once you physically do it.
