[@bibily1]

Thx a lot that help me out) for newbie on flatbed

[@XxloganXx1123]

Aye this dude helped me with some coils a few months back good dude

[@funnysons]

Same what a legend

[@rowlandloewen5300]

I did it that way my whole life and never got a second look. It fast and secure. It’s the west coast method. It works.

[@HiltsyAdventure]

That's how I've always done it I've never had a strap loosen or come off. It locks itself in.

[@jwill9637]

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

[@Ian-xw1ge]

Thanks for the visual tie down.

[@user-sm3th7ow5w]

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

[@HiltsyAdventure]

Those are just shingles it's okay on that it's the taller loads that really is annoying flapping. I'm not saying it wouldn't help on this but it's not as bad.

[@phxcommplumbing]

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

[@SkyWRX]

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

[@walysene7911]

Yep short strapping not accepted everywhere!

[@noodlecompany8123]

It's not short strapping as long as you make three full turns

[@NURGLESBLESSING]

By that standard the normal method is illegal since he even ran it all the through..... Jeffery wtf are you on about? Jeffery JEFFERY

[@edwinrivera5377]

Good thing you told me I'm in Arizona

[@trevjcandy3632]

Best video on short strapping on KZbin. All these other videos use the most bizarre techniques I’ve never seen before. This is truly what I see the pros doing.

[@chubotonic6036]

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.

[@otrRae]

It's not much difference because if you feed all that slack through, you'll spend that time tightening the extra

[@michaelbotello250]

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

[@SkyWRX]

careful DOTs don't like this method

[@user-bw2uf5ii4x]

Best video

[@SkyWRX]

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

[@noodlecompany8123]

Wrong

[@julierehoric3856]

That’s what I’m thinking, I just got taught to single it through

[@SkyWRX]

@@noodlecompany8123 wrong your 3 full turns won't save you from short strapping Mr.Noodles 😄

[@noodlecompany8123]

@@SkyWRX believe what you want. I got 20 years and countless DOT inspections just say different

[@airitout6760]

@@noodlecompany8123same these guys swear and don’t think it’s actually through.More than meets the eye.I bet you our straps are hard as iron they have a hard thump to them sound like someone knocking on a door they don’t move won’t move and no DOT is going to do anything.

[@morrisdennis]

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

[@MarkBrown-xu6sp]

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.

[@NWforager]

"coming Over !" throws the Hook

[@GROVER10-4]

Yes sir 💯

[@timschliskey4507]

Super trucker 😂 got a ticket 😲

[@dwaynegarnes9225]

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

[@trillajonesmusic7126]

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

[@RobSalas-tr3ds]

Yeah want a ticket go ahead and try that lol

[@Andy-bris]

This is wrong!!! The strap has to go through the winch.

[@jonathon437]

That's fuck around an find out moment lol.

[@darrinkulyk9560]

I have drove Decks for years ...... never done that

[@NURGLESBLESSING]

Bless your heart

[@Shadeza1373]

❤ if experience was a person 🎉

[@rowlandloewen5300]

As long as the strap has more than a full revolution on the winch it’s safe and legal.

[@DanielCurl_0525]

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?

[@mattlyle455]

Yup way too much fooling around in my opinion. I'll just keep doing it the same way I've always been doing it

[@reginaldford7373]

I will try this only if I feel I can get away with it and most likely sooner or later I will get caught lol

[@sams7655]

Some guys only want a few wraps on winch. If the entire strap is wrapped around winch it may loosen up a little and you might have to be constantly tightening it on your trip.

[@randyhall5540]

Until it freezes

[@plow-nn7pz]

I had the straps pull out from short strapping once

[@tonyggg509]

🔥🔥🔥

[@davetriepke2799]

That dude is taking way to long...

[@L118aKev]

Illegal asf

[@king-ko5rk]

Do not do this y’all who watching 💯💯

[@moffett.flatbed.training]

Does anyone know where to find laws on things like this. Everyone has their own ways and I've noticed depending on the DOT officer you get they seem to be on different pages also.

[@SkyWRX]

CA DOT at least . Requires you to feed the entire strap, roll up the slack, then tighten it up . No shortcuts although people still do it

[@SkyWRX]

Love your channel BTW!! I used to run Moffetts, manitou , gradall & JLG 1055

[@NURGLESBLESSING]

​@SkyWRX but the entire strap is through the eye just add more slack and rolls......

[@edwardbates3439]

This is definitely wrong. You have to wrap it several times in the hedge he only has a small amount of strap in the binder no way is that legal

[@blughsr]

Thats illegal.. in Multiple states.

[@xChromerSatanasx]

Nicely done

[@samuelholifield8419]

It's not passable dot inspection

[@Jeff250lbc]

Easy drive dry van..

[@therxckstar]

D…O…T😨

[@upinsmokedre8376]

Does anyone know what size straps he’s using

[@BarnacleBoy42069]

4 inch straps

[@jesusactivo5624]

👌😎🫡

[@Leo5c2010]

Is not secure

[@scottwilliams3547]

Way to much screwing around

[@NURGLESBLESSING]

>grab very end of strap >feed it through >now have 2 to 3 twist in strap Different ppl different techniques

[@toddgittins5692]

1st, put on some boots.......

[@doug8056]

Definitely don't strap like that. That is super lazy.

[@supermariosbro_O]

What's the purpose of doing it like this though?

[@edwinrivera5377]

When you get to the receiver all you gotta do is loosen with the wench bar and they are off, saves you about 5-10 min If you have a lot of straps then could save more time

[@jimmycosey1675]

He makes it look so easy but it’s not ll😅

[@mikeungerer4980]

Looks like a steering wheel holder to me I bet she's got one of them automatic transmissions too

[@user-sh5ce1ot4y]

That’s illegal and time consuming
