Sharp uniformed and cleaner thanks on tip

[Hay-xp]

Perfect 👍

Except you forgot the twist to keep it from flapping in the wind...

[jwill]

If you give the strap a 1/2 twist will stop the strap from vibrating in the wind.

All that slack can stay in the winch. My guy must be by the hour, cuz he just added a solid 10 mins per stop.

Awesome video very informative and to the point

I got a ticket for strapping like that in Arizona they said short strapping is not allowed

[BaxterBlue]

We all do it a little different. I pull mine all the way through but basically the same.

[franklinshooter]

I'm second-guessing myself here, but I thought that wrap was "illegal."

[SkyWRX]

yeah DOT will get you for that. gotta feed the entire strap then roll over the remainder of the strap

[skylarpeters]

Nice.. too bad short strapping is illegal and DOT is trained to look for this. Oregon and Washington scales check for it on inspections.

[michaelbotello]

I'm definitely gonna try this. Been lookin for a better way

[HoTrainsDClocomotive]

How does call short strapping..
That is a DOT violation...
If you get caught

So I’ve been doing flatbed for almost a year, and I’ve seen folks at stops who do this, but why do they do it like this? What’s better about this way rather than having the whole strap sitting on the winch?

[MarkBrown-xusp]

I use to do it that way until in South Dakota I ran in the right(wrong) snow that pactedin the loop in the ratchet, it took me an hour to get the strap out. Now I run the strap all the way thru, then do the fold over.

[dwaynegarnes]

This why I'm scared to drive flatbed been driving for 30 yrs and always had dry vans 😮

[morrisdennis]

I was nvr a big fan of the strapping technique. I was taught to run them through...tmc trained

[trillajonesmusic]

It’s faster to just roll it up up unroll the. Throw over ion truck that type of strapping
