So if I have a ratcheting tie down strap, I could just tie it around once , and then ratchet it? Seems like the same result. Im hauling twelve 10 ft emt pipe. I have ratchet straps and a 6 ft bed. What about the front of the truck. Pipe wont move side to side in the front?
This is s trucker’s hitch. With a little practice, they’re very easy to tie/untie. And yes, they do secure your load very well. But, If you’re using a ratchet strap, watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/lcnBk1EvrXE/v-deo.htmlsi=u8ejqr10ndb3r7dB. I’m sure your strap will work just as well. Good luck.
This is so very helpful! I have to move a live edged bed frame that’s longer than my truck bed.
Thanks!
Hope it helps.
I use the twist method every time but I twist 6 times 3 is the least , imo
What does 6 loops gain you? Especially, in this situation with only two pieces of wood?
Very useful, thanks
An alpinebutterfly loop also works well , but quality one inch racket straps are the best and quickest ! Nice video .
A simple slip knot loop works better for the truckers hitch.
Thats a truckers hitch...
It is a great video!
Thanks for the kindness

I have done that with my 6’ bed. They don’t move

Nice video👍
Thank you
That's called a trucker's hitch.
Great thanks
Seems overly complex for the purpose.
