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.

[@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..

[@joanhenderson5114]

Your the best to get that load there. Prayers for better days ahead. Stay safe pups & mom.

[@happypappy6371]

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."

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.

Very interesting. It appears that the boards on the floor should have been to nailed to the nailer board on each side of the bed. It definitely looks like a load that is definitely difficult to secure.

[@friendlyfarmer344]

The shipper/manufacture needs to have their contract canceled! They had an estimator that didn't now how to bid the job.....but thinks he/she knew everything.

[@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

[@elverguillen3194]

it just reminded me of that load with hay that it was falling apart. I salute and knew how u felt. but I'm glad u were brave and. handle it

[@warlike3934]

I've moved those a few times, I screwed boards into my deck in the corners of them, and you need two straps over and then use use ratchets to choke them.

[@terryperrott9913]

I run lowboy,some times My loads are tall. I got like a 50" foot rope like 3/8" inch, tied a hook on one end for a weight, through the rope with hook on it over the load, secure it to strap & pull rope back with strap, much easier than trying to throw the straps.

[@timothylentz9236]

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.

[@kevinz763]

A few months ago I believe it was TJV "TRUCKER JOSH VIDEOS" showed a load just like this and they ended up using screws to screw the dunage to the floor of the trailer so the load couldn't shift....his was doing the same thing all over the place. But it wasn't the same shipper because he hauls out of mostly Canada and northern states

[@bigrigbecca]

Yeah I don’t see how that would stop it from moving, cause the load was just sitting on top of it

[@Raymond-g2q]

Double straps on each unit all the time love

[@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 🌎

[@noelhall945]

Different ways of looking at a problem - Did you consider the interior structure of the Ducting, to tie it down. Also to clip and clamp across under the body of the trailer., Another to clamp vertically down the outside walls of the Duct, each side.

[@bigrigbecca]

They inside bars aren’t strap able it would’ve broke the load also damaging it.

Safety first. Just because something is possible, does make it advisable. It's your call, but it's also your life and career --not to mention the safety of others on the road. Lawyers love the word forseeable.

[@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.
