    Code section states it will be 2 tie-downs in the first 10 feet, one tie-down for the next 10 feet and any additional 10 feet, AND one tie-down for a fraction of 10 feet. It also states the aggregate working load limit of the tie-down assembles must be equal to or at least half the weight of the article you are securing.

    That second strap is over 4ft. The load starts at the front of the trailer. NOT at that first stack pocket

    Do you have any videos for lumber that requires tier strapping?

  • @Jamedia66

    Do the 2 straps necessarily need to be on the first and last 4 feet, or is it that they need to be within 4 feet apart near the front and near the back of the load?

      Yeah. It’s not that the 2 straps necessarily need to be on the first and last 4 feet, rather that they need to be within 4 feet apart near the front and near the back though…

    So. Tell me why they refused a load. As the load is properly braced and held in place like regulation says to do if they aren't wrapped... And part of the bracing is extra wrapped pallets to block the loose drums in (non flammable drums). No instruction on the order to wrap them all either.

    You’re wrong, maybe you should read the regulations before making such a video. The law requires 2 straps in the first 10 feet and 1 strap for each additional 10 feet of article length, they do not have to be spaced every 10 feet it only requires that it has the right number. If it’s against a bulkhead or other such restriction from forward movement then 1 strap or chain per 10 feet is all that is required. Of course this doesn’t include weight calculation which may increase the amount required for particularly heavy items. Even before the 2022 changes it was still 2 in the first 10 so what you’re telling people is still factually incorrect. Your company may have its own rules but that does not make it a legal requirement. Fmcsa dot dot dot gov go to the regulations then cargo securement for those who want to know the actual requirements.

    • @victordavalos8844
      @victordavalos8844 7 днів тому

      You are correct. The regulation reads as "one additional tie down for every 10 feet of article length beyond the first 10 feet". Nowhere does it say that one strap has to be every 10 ft. It only states that there must be 2 straps within the first 10 feet and only if there is not any front end protection.

      Hi there. For context, I've been flatbed trucking with lumber for 8 years now. You don't need corner protectors when it's just strait lumber like in this video. There's no risk to cutting your straps on lumber like this. I use corner protectors to protect the straps if metal is involved or to protect the cargo if more fragile material is being strapped.

    • @jaydunbar7538
      @jaydunbar7538 5 місяців тому +1

      Not required on lumber unless it’s soft lumber, the damage risk is to the lumber tho not to the straps.
