It depends on the type of freight you plan on hauling. I would start with the following:
2- steel tarps
1-lumber tarp
10- 3/8" 70 grade chains
10- binders
10- straps
5- sets of coil racks
10- pieces of beveled 4" x 4' hard wood
10- pieces of belting
20 - edge protectors for straps
20 - edge protectors for chains
50 - 21" bungee straps
1- bulkhead or headrack.
This will get you started. You can add more as you need them, but this should be most of what you should need on a daily basis.
