I worked with western express for a good 10 years plus.not all locations load slinky coils from a dock. Most of them get loaded from the side. Coil racks and timber I used on the center coils only. I center strapped the center coils the first set and last set of coils. It made it easier to butterfly strap them and made it easier to have them pull towards the center coil
Dearest experts, have you ever had these type of Wire rod coils tip to their sides? how do you solve this? we are having very hard time with this issue for several years, its a heache. regards from Mexico.
It’s awesome that they want to share knowledge. But here’s a piece of wisdom. None of those straps are gonna do a bit of good if you hook your hook to the DOT tape rail. (NOT LEGAL)
If you have a rub rail with DOT tape you still may secure it the way they are. It is not illegal it is recommended. A DOT officer in Colorado tried to write me a ticket for this and his supervisor corrected him.
Pickup these up today for the first time and this video has saved me a lot of time and trouble.
Thanks for your help!

You should put cardboard or plywood between them cuz as you run down the road they wiggle into each other getting loose
i always have 3 ratchet straps front middle and end just cause you never know! plus all the other straps
I Learned you should never place your straps around the rub rail, maybe that's why your rub rails are bent
Next time dont be 20 feet away trying to show someone how to strap a truck
What???
