827022 发表于 2019-10-08 22:10:59 We were taught how to secure these types of loads in load securement with and without blocking ..... a lot of steel places that I’ve gone to do not put the blocking in between ..... I would imagine that we could use our 1 ft blocks to create our own blocking but I’m not sure

","text":"We don’t carry blocking rely on the loaders to supply it but this was a first for me but at least you choked the bundles , ","replyToPid":223849}

{"replyTo":"","text":"the belly wrapping i only do id something is round ; or can move something on wheels; or something on only one side of a trailer by itself; usually a partial load type; or like one single pipe  by itself type situation; i would not belly wrap that; i would chain it straight ways  that beibg said guy flatbed aint no joke! and i could care less about a violation or ticket; thats dangerous if that space is allllll there right now ? and your driving right now?  ","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"flatbed aint no joke! third of all trick; do whats safe ; and tarp if your worried about cops seeing it; but thats dangersos with the spacing; you are just not noticing how damgerous it is cause the stwel is soooo heavy and not moving right now; but 80 miles an hour out of gear down a hill round a bend that load will shift; ","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Yea it’s crazy because all the guys were using straps on this load .... we were taught steel on steel as well but this load was an exception i guess because this steel is so flimsy and flexible everyone was saying that the straps will hold it together better than chains .... I’m not sure ","replyToPid":0}

","text":"Well I work for a pretty legit and high ranked flat bed company which told me this load is safe how it is ..... I do my load checks as I should and the load has not shifted at all and no slamming on brakes for me..... some companies refuse to load u with blocking so what are we supposed to do in that situation? A lot of the other truckers that have been to this shipper plenty of times were just throwing straps and heading out like it was nothing ","replyToPid":223864}
