How To Secure Slinky Coils Flatbed Cargo Securement

[@BBADGERAIDERS]

Bro, I just got my CDL and I just found your page . I’m doing flatbed and I’m about to do my phase two training over the road and this video was soooo informative. 💪🏽

[@bigsnow1705]

Congratulations brother. I’ve made a few slinkies videos but this one I actually went through the whole process. Be safe out there and good luck. Welcome to the channel

[@BBADGERAIDERS]

Flatbed Gang yes sir!!! I subscribed and I’m looking forward to checking out some more of your videos. I’m sure I’ll have questions as I progress in this career lol.

[@bigsnow1705]

No problem bro

[@jenniferjohnson1924]

Thank you for that. About to go pick up my first slinky load.

[@bcrawford9072]

Always remember with slinky wire if you have 8 coils use 8 straps. Back in the day we would throw 7 and you would look fully secure. Dot offier during a dot inspection couldn't figure our way we secured our load and wrote us a warning about load secure ment. Told us if we had 8 coils 8 straps not 7. We said yes and threw one on front set and rear set and rolled out. The good old days.

Wish I had found your video on Friday when I was waiting to get loaded up. I picked up my first load on Friday an it was coil too an the way you doing it now look so easy, so my next load will be easier thanks to you 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@bigsnow1705]

Stay safe bro 💯

Good video on securement....Good job. Next time you are in the Dover/York Pa area, hit me up. Like to talk with you about P&S.

[@kelvintorrence5994]

Yes I Will always remember those wire coils with the hole in my left leg from Perth Amboy n.j and I don't miss those things 1 bit.

[@bigsnow1705]

Damm, what happened bro?

[@579pete]

Hey man great video, just sub to your channel. Been doing flatbed for 24yrs, plus a year as a road instructor at Carolina truck driving school back in 2018 until Raleigh shut them down. I stumbled on to your channel watching some TMC Flatbed stuff. I had a couple of students that went there to work. I'm out of the Charlotte area. Keep up the good work and info. We will cross paths someday! Stay safe!

[@bigsnow1705]

Nice to meet you sir. From North Carolinian to the another

[@walterdowns4126]

[@bigsnow1705]

Yes sir. Just rolled up rebar

Go to the house driver. That was an excellent show and tell. I hated slinkies. Former driver for McElry, Builders, and Pat's Gay Truckers. I hope your carreer serves you well. Shiny side up, always.

How do you know where to put your coil racks? I’m new to flatbed

[@bigsnow1705]

Varies by load. But more than likely the forklift driver will tell you where to place them

[@flatbed_kez]

[@bigsnow1705]

Not too bad of a place

What are slinky coils used for?

[@bigsnow1705]

It’s rebar basically

[@derrickanderson4932]

Good Video Be Safe

[@czaragoza7396]

Not trying to be a smart ass but that's not how you strap down coils. You want the first few straps on the coils closer to the cab pulling backwards away from the cab and the last few straps the opposite way. Lastly you want a butterfly on both the front and back coil or u can use a chain. The reason for strapping this way will prevent coils rolling into the cab in a hard brake situation. Specially the way you have the coils being strapped pulling towards the cab

[@bigsnow1705]

🍪 Where did you learn that? At a mega carrier company? That wasn’t my first time pulling that load and btw, I dropped that load safely about 6 months ago I believe. Keep on trucking brother and always remember. It’s always more than one way to skin a cat 😉

[@czaragoza7396]

@@bigsnow1705 lol I haul coils every day bro lol but ok. Keep doing yo thing I was just trying to look out.

[@Phuq_it]

@@czaragoza7396 why you say it’s wrong? I do exactly like he did and at the shipper 99% of the people have it that way. His butterfly is on the second coil pulling it back. The last 3 you can pull them forward. We had a western express join our company and put the x or butterfly on the first one inside if that makes sense. Either way you’re pulling it back…
