    Thank you for visiting the Choicemas "STOP THE CLOCK" Channel. I create content with hopes to inspire, motivate, educate, empower, and help others. A majority of my videos are Educational videos teaching the ins and outs of Safety and Securement, as well as the excitement of driving a 18 Wheeler Semi-Truck throughout the country. In addition, I have some inspirational, motivational commentary that I feel can help others. Recently I've opened up my page to Vlogs and Roadtrips with my wife and I that carry some humor and interest. I hope you can find videos you like, and if you do... give us a thumbs up and hit the subscribe button, as we sincerely appreciate the support and the amazing feedback we've received throughout the years. I started this channel knowing nothing at all and have come a very long way, and the journey has all been worth it. Many thanks to you all, God bless. -Choicemas

    I like that little claw on your pole. Looks like it works better than the style I have. And that was finesse throwing those straps over the edge protectors. That ain’t easy to do

    • @choicemas
      @choicemas  ปีที่แล้ว

      Right on!!! Think I got mine on Amazon. Pretty sure I did. Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Yeah my strap throwing seems to catch a lot of people’s attention. I like flatbedding. God bless and stay fresh. 🙏🏼💯👊

    Man I had the same thing happened to me in the front they was going outward but it was because the forklift guy was new and he didn’t load it right but luckily it’s light I pushed them back in and got on down the road

    I personally don't believe that you can oversecure your load. You seem to have the same way of doing your loads. I've seen loads that weren't secured properly because the driver was either being lazy or in a hurry and skimped on the number of chains or straps and when the truck ended up on it's side the load blew out all over the road. On the other hand I've seen oversecured loads that when the truck went over ,the load stayed bound to the trailer. Ya gotta secure for the worst possible situation. Thats someone elses family you could kill out there on the hiway wit you!

  • @nickwilliam78

    Please do more videos on securement bro. These vids are hot. Is this how TMC taught you or you just learned this by watching other drivers?

    • @choicemas
      @choicemas  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I learned by watching other drivers and asking questions, common sense, trial and error. You know everything’s a lesson out here if we’re smart enough to see it and take from it. TMC didn’t reach me anything. I went in as an experienced driver to TMC so I didn’t have to do their securement and orientation. Basically self taught through others. And still a whole lot more to learn. Thanks for watching and more to come soon. Stick with me if you can. I appreciate it. Stay blessed. 👊💯🙏🏼

    Hey man, love your videos. I start school next Monday, and TMC is one of the companies that comes to visit. What's your opinion on them being a first company? I want to go flat bed right off the bat, and I was really considering them.

  • @thelitemaster
    @thelitemaster ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hey when u had that experience when the load shifted with the 1 strap on the insulation. How did u end up fixing it? Did u have to go back to the shipper and reload it.
    It cases like those whats the solution?

    • @choicemas
      @choicemas  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great question. In my case the load shifted but not enough to where it was a problem. I pulled over tightened it down and re-threw some straps and kept it moving. If the load shifted to the point I was uneasy or thought product would fall off the bed, company guys- I’d suggest to pull over and call the your company and they will call a wrecker or a company that has a cherry picker, or a forklift and they would need to come out to you and get it done. O/O will have to call a wrecker company or forklift/recovery company direct and work it out with them.
      I’d also suggest getting to the nearest rest area if possible or the safest location where you can pull the truck over and still have room for the lifts to come and help you out without impeding traffic or getting in the way of anyone else. That will be an entirely different bill to handle and could result in some fines as well.

      Amazon but it’s only the head. The pole is a telescopic pole from Home Depot. You can make the head yourself from pvc. I have a video that shows you how if you don’t already know. Peace and God Bless.

    Why is the strap twisted isn’t that bad ?

    • @choicemas
      @choicemas  ปีที่แล้ว

      No that’s not bad. When a load is 8ft or taller I twist my straps to deflect the wind. Stops them from loosening down the road and fluttering in the wind. Good question.

    • @choicemas
      @choicemas  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You’re right. I’d much rather cross strap than tarp, sir. 🫡 stay fresh. For anyone reading his comment, he is CORRECT. If you tarp it, don’t bother cross strapping it. Thanks 🙏🏼
