Storing Straps question

{"text":"I've lived around reefer hauling all my life but now I'm getting into flatbed. My question to everyone is how do you store your straps? I see two methods, store them off the winch, throw em over, and then fold the excess under the straps. And then I see some people keep them right on their winches. Thoughts?  ","pics":"[]","canComment":true}

{"replyToPid":0,"replyTo":"","text":"Straps. Every flat bedder has their own method. I keep half in each side box. Open them and throw them on whatever side I’m on. I roll mine completely into the ratchet. I don’t fold them up. I know it’s popular to do, just isn’t my cup of tea. "}
