    I drove OTR 4 years, seen a few bad truck accidents where drivers didn't make it. It's not a game out there. If you like to be on your phone, in my opinion you shouldn't be a truck driver. I've been driven lowboy & end dump for 8 years. It don't matter if I use chains & or straps , after I go a few miles, I pull over & some times they are loose. After tieing down then you go a few miles or so the load settles in & you load securement devices loosen up. Another pointer is watch you straps - chains in your merrors .Also when you do you PTI ( pretrip inspection) check you , also after you fuel do a walk around kick - check your tires, load , load securement as well. Good luck out there new drivers ,drive safely & keep the shiny side up & the nasty dirty one down.

      I’ll tell you that what you learn in Melton orientation is basically useless. When you get on a trainer truck, they’re going to show you their way. Only reason I say this is because I’m currently on a trainer truck we had a load just like this and I was told to not put twists in the straps… just get through orientation and training and do what works for you brother.

    Some states require you to put the straps inside the rub rail. If something was to side swipe your trailer your straps are toast. Otherwise good video. I do my straps a bit differently. I’ve been driving for over 20yrs now and never seen it done this way. I’m from Illinois and they will ticket you for your straps not being inside the rub rail. I was also taught that a twist in your straps will weaken the strap. To each their own. I’m not knocking you’re technique, I just do it differently. Be safe out there driver.

    • @50plustrucker
      @50plustrucker  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I really enjoy experience drivers who have a different concept and it’s extremely appreciated. I agree with you on the placement of the straps and I didn’t get it why our company wants us to do it that way, but I follow the rules and teach it the way they want. Also, hooking the strap beneath the trailer lets the tarps ride much better than Putting the straps on the rub where because it pushes the tarps outside the rail gap and allows air to get in.

    I have a question. Forgive me if this is a dumb question. Wouldn't it be safer to have the metal end of the strap on the outside of the rub rail? That way if something does end up rubbing against the side of the trailer, it's not risking cutting a strap? Also at 7:56, the strap has a twist going into the winch. Doesn't that make it easier for that strap to come loose? That winch right over that trailer tire seems like a disaster waiting to happen as well. If that tire blows for whatever reason, it's gonna annihilate that winch and then you got a loose strap and if you hit a bump or some uneven ground and the trailer dips in that direction, your risk the winch cutting into that tire.

    • @50plustrucker
      @50plustrucker  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      All good questions,
      I don’t like straps on the rub rails at all but that’s policy so I do it.
      Twisted straps going into the winch doesn’t effect the Safty of the set up at all. I will sometimes do that to put a twist in the strap to prevent vibration.
      If a tire blew many things can happen but a tire causing damage to the straps or winch really isn’t likely. Possible but not likely.
      If I hit a bump on hole so big it would collapsed the airbags to a point the tire will make contact with a winch I have bigger problems for sure. What really happens is guys pulling off before the trailer bags fill the the tire can rub.
