This Oversize Load Was Unbearable To Haul! 😲

[@Craneop75]

Never let a shipper dictate how you secure your load. Just agree while you're there, then when you leave, stop and do what's required by DOT and make you feel comfortable. If DOT sees that you only have one piece of securement on each piece, you're screwed. Not to mention if that one strap breaks, you're career is in jeopardy. Be safe my friend

[@myexpressways4106]

Great job with a lousy load. You did a fine job under the circumstances. One thing you can do if you need longer straps is to hook two straps together and secure the hooks with duct tape. Then you can use the two open ends on a winch on each side of the trailer. They may be offset a little, depending on the winch positions, but that will give you all the strap length you need. You are very professional, even though you do not give a FF about wearing flipflops (sandals). You are no bonehead trucker!😂 Thanks for another enjoyable video. I miss flatbedding, but not the loads from Hell like this one was! You go, girl.

[@Thetruthalwayshurts]

You should have your merch team create a shower bag, flip flops and towel. KZbin truckers be missing what truckers use out here! Along with tools we use for the truck, tire thumper, flashlight, air gauge, gloves, etc.

Another load delivered. You handle your trailer very well when backing. Better than some seasoned drivers I’ve seen. Take care of those sweet dogs!

[@donrock6800]

Some of these shippers have no idea how to haul those materials behind a desk but did an amazing job with it Becca thanks for the videos ❤

[@bigrigbecca]

How did I rush securement? I secured it how they demanded. Or else I was damaging the load. Yall are easy to say what to do when you aren’t in others shoes. I should’ve had it offloaded there was no other way. And no I couldn’t strap it from the middle bars either. I would’ve just lost a week of work and costed the company. But I made it. Move on.

[@darylthisdelle7702]

One strap on each bundle was just an accident waiting to happen. You got lucky with that load, BRB. But then that’s all ya need sometimes is a little luck. I bet you learned a few things on that load. You know your in trouble when an office worker is trying to tell you how to do your job. It’s a bit different rolling down the highway at 65 at 40 ton than sitting in front of a key board and you just broke your nail, poor thing. Been there done that and got the T-Shirt. Some loads just can’t get off quick enough. Great video, shows how shippers put drivers lives in harms way. If that would have fallen off, guess who’s at fault. Anywho BRB, have a great and a safe day, happy trails to you, D..

Yeah they did not put the proper dunnage on there at all. You needed to have 2 pieces of 10 foot long wood on the top and bottom so you could put 2 straps on each stack.

[@markhunter3263]

@@chadpflanz8745 I don’t think regular dunnage would have cut it. Looking at the load, you’d need 10 ft wide pieces, which I’ve never seen anybody carrying around on the back of their truck. Looks like the shipper tried using regular 8 foot wide pieces in conjunction with smaller pieces because they didn’t have anything wide enough. Which was why they kept falling off like she was saying.

[@bigrigbecca]

@@chadpflanz8745 it wasn’t regular dunnage ppl carry lmao. My dunnage is like 60 pounds no way I was getting them on top of the load. Was a skinny piece of wood just to throw a strap over.

The ductwork was twisting on the trailer due to only one strap. Each stack should have two straps. Remember, you are in charge of that truck, not the shipper. if they don't want to do it as you know it needs to be done, refuse the load. When something happens on the highway and DOT is there with their ticket book, the shipper is not going to run out and say, "We told her to do it that way."

[@danielloveall2952]

Becca it's not problem put 2 straps on cross them through the center like an X through center that way you have 2 straps over each bundle

[@legionofanon]

Cross strapping, up one side and through the middle, mirror on other side, to keep from shifting (just like cross chaining a container on a flatbed). Also if you got flat hook straps, use your straps to shift the load. Put the hook on the edge and slowly winch it in, it'll pull the load over

[@K-Fred]

[@chadshilow925]

Great 👍 job and you secure the load that you feel comfortable. These shippers never drove trucks in there life. I know what you mean. I had that same problem before. You should invest v-bords. V-bords helps.

[@jwill9359]

Becca you got very lucky on that one. DOT requirements are 1 strap 5ft or less and 2 straps for 10 ft. On a full load you would need 5 straps for 40 ft. Definitely needed two 2 three straps on each unit. Dont let shipper tell you otherwise. They said one strap because the are worried about bending the units. Would recommned corner protectors also. Here is a little trick to help you. I will try to explain but sometimes you have to see too understand. Maybe ill make a video. LOL. Pull out as much strap as you think youll need. Roll the strap just like you were doing. About 6 ft from trailer take the roll in your hand and fold it forward over your extra strap. Grab the extra strap and let it and the strap you rolled up and let it fall back. You want to make large loop with the rolled up strap at the bottom. This will create a sling. Now you can really get some momentum with the strap and it takes all the stress off your shoulders. Also works great when it is very w indy. Stay safe. PS there are several videos on you tube to help ya.

[@marktaylor6837]

My two cents: I have an idea for strapping that ductwork if you ever have to do another load of them. Hook the strap on the side of your trailer as normal and throw the strap up over the first side/wall. Bring the thrown end diagonally down through the ductwork to the other side of the trailer attachment point. Only take up the slack on the first one. Repeat the same thing from the other side of the trailer. Alternately tighten each one until they're tight. You need to alternate a couple of times to insure that you don't shift the load off center. The diagonal strapping technique will cancel the shifting each way. I realize you'll need twice as many straps but it will be worth the peace of mind. Another two cents: Get yourself a length of light rope that will reach over the top of your load to the ground on the other side. Somehow attach something akin to a softball to the end of the rope. Now you can throw the ball (or whatever) over your load with the light rope trailing behind. Now tie-off the light rope to the end of your strap and pull it up over your load from the other side. Should work in theory. Now if I can just figure out how to change my smartphone ringtone to you saying, "You Ate My Chicken", that would make my day! I admire your work ethic Becca. You stay safe out there little one. All the best from Massachusetts! ☮️ on 🌎

I would have put two straps over and down through the units on each side. One strap all the way over like you did but the other four on each stack to keep them from shifting to the drivers side. You could have also done a crisscross thing as well. Hooked the strap on one side, went up and over the tall side and down to the ratchet then do the same going to the other side. They would not have moved very much.

[@scottsaalman6106]

How do you like that freightliner compared to the Kenworth?!

[@WrongTurnRobbie]

Ok, so the reasons the load shifted too much is, from what i can see, is 1. They had you only throw one strap over each piece. Not only is it a sure fire way to have DOT knocking at your door for an autograph or worse OOS til fixed and fined but that second strap would have kept it from moving around so much. Secondly, and if did this already disregard, offset the direction of where you winch your straps. In otherwards, throw half of them towards the driver's side and the remaining towards the passenger side. This will keep it from shifting so much to one side or the other. And dont be afraid to tell the customer no, if they want you to do something illegal or unsafe, cuz in the end its you who will face consequences if something happens, not anyone else. Anyways, love the videos, keep it up and keep the greasy side down.

[@kroadie3936]
