[@warrenwonderlin2738]

I am an experienced driver just getting ready to start flatbed and I just wanted to say thank you. With your videos I already have an advantage for load securement training over other experience drivers who may not have done any research. I'll have you in mind every time I go to secure a load thanks again brother

[@25blacksnow]

Yo lo I’m a new flatbeder always checkin your video before I strap my load thanks a lot man

[@jakemeacham3622]

you explain things very well I would appreciate it if you could do a pre-trip inspection video thank you for your time and be safe

[@truckenbikenbill7454]

You can put the edge protectors in the slit of your pvc pipe too! ;-)

[@judahthetruckerhill1868]

I'm learning good off your videos man I might go flatbed I feel like a pro now

[@chanceharvey8258]

I really enjoy your videos. I find them entertaining and informative. But, I feel I need to correct you on the use and application of Belly Wrap Straps. What you are showing is actually a Layer Strap method. A Bely Wrap strap completely encompasses the ENTIRE load from bottom to top and both sides and secures to winches on opposite sides of the trailer. It tightens the load into itself and pulls it downward to the trailer. You do this by "fishing" the strap across the bed (or having it laid out before loading) of the trailer then tossing the ends over to the opposite side for securement. In other words, drivers side strap end up and over to passenger side winch, then passenger side strap end up and over to driver side winch. You then tighten BOTH sides before you tighten your overall straps. Obviously this takes a 40' +/- strap with NO hook end. These can be purchased by any company or by yourself if you so choose by most load securement supply companies. An online search for such companies is pretty easy. When I'm hauling pipe or beams, I also use 2 Belly Wraps. I set them at points about 1/3 the length of the trailer. This ensures that the load will not shift and create problems down the road somewhere. Anyhow, keep up the great work and videos!

great video LoShawn thanks a lot man we appreciate it this helps out a lot of truck drivers and it gives us knowledge keep it coming

[@lukeroybal9897]

Great video. Thanks Loshawn

[@TruckingwithLoshawnParks]

appreciate it

[@whatheworld]

Boom .. just like that.. Nice clip, stay safe !!

[@tonythetigerman9113]

nice vid 1st time watcher & i subbed also too yeah 2 question's though if and when you can answer them 1. how do you stop the load from going forward or backwards ,? cas other day seen a vid on news were a load came though back of cab & may that person R.I.P. thats why i ask that 2. when you show the 1 side of strap it has a hook on other end was just flat how did you tie that off ? i'm guessing in a slip knot or a bow line knot thanks 4 sharing

[@TruckingwithLoshawnParks]

1st question, by throwing 2 straps In the front and back, it prevents forward and backward motion. 2nd question is you tie it down thru a strap wench that is attached to the trailer. Hey watch my How to secure a PVC pipe load. in there I show the wench

[@tonythetigerman9113]

ok ty

[@rodneyb.4719]

Great presentation once again.👍

[@anakin1255]

What up LoShawn. I love your videos in fact I now have my cdl with Prime Inc. Just got it today. And yes I am joining the flatbed division. I am waiting TNT training. Any words of advise?

[@junglebrother8923]

nice video brother, very professional.

[@ViTrucker340]

Good video man!!! We can't haul steel beams with straps at my company. We have to use chains.

[@ellery771]

great info. Tell them why you put a twist in it.

[@abijahaj32]

So even when the metal has smooth edges u still have to put corner protectors?

[@jfly155]

Thanks for the video great job.

[@dsouza286]

Wouldn’t chains be the best option for this Securement? Never thought that’s straps would be the one.

[@TruckingwithLoshawnParks]

Which ever you are comfortable with

[@melvinmcmichael1840]

damn I haven't loaded no steel on a flatbed since last year but tarping is something else but hey do ya thang

[@larrytowns9624]

Great job

[@JSAM700]

Great tutorial video loShawn. on the flip side the whiteys are upset. they say yall be condenscending lol

[@latinontheroad]

1" x 4" x8' board also does the belly strap job done ,

[@sweetness2689]

Do you put x chains in the front and back?

[@newyorkcitymilkman6358]

yo good looking on the video riding heavy

[@vernoncox6476]

LoShawn hey man seen your truck today in Springfield at terminal question for you are they offering any 10 speeds or is everything automatic now thanks man was hoping to get to meet you

[@TruckingwithLoshawnParks]

they do have 10 speeds available if you are getting a used truck, but all new trucks that are 2017 are going to be automatic

[@mykiehollywood3085]

good job, great video!!!

[@hbanks8558]

Hook should underneath the trailer not to rail. Sideswipe accident breaks your securement. Side rail on most trailers is not load rated

[@jerdobro6534]

awesome video. thank u

[@markj7579]

thank you

[@RONJAE212003]

Any advise on how to get my CDL bcse my class A was suspended over 1 1/2 ago and now Prime denied me saying my driving record has to be clear over 3yrs. I've already got a owner operator that wants to hire me as soon as I get my CDL but I need to get my license

[@m.simpson6843]

Why was it suspended. You should br able to get a clearance from your state DOT.

[@tfinesse7062]

💯💯💯

[@TheFukkup]

whats the importance of twisting the straps?

[@TruckingwithLoshawnParks]

a couple of reason. 1. being it keeps your straps from loosening going down the highway. 2. it keeps your straps from vibrating and causing possible damage to the freight.

[@Romans-xy5wn]

visalia California

[@sweetness2689]

Why not use chains?

[@Ishmel001]

Jet fuel can't melt steel beams

[@joshuahickey6214]

Also it's not a belly strap if it only goes over once.

[@erob1950]

belly strap

[@johnsarab4500]

Still, get in wreck and you are sheik-ka-bob.

[@billygomez4073]

Why is every driver with maybe only 3 yrs experience at the most posting videos like they been doing this for 20yrs..
