There is no such thing as a rating for a rub rail. I’ve been flatbedding 43 years and that statement cracked me up! 🤣😂😅

Any time

We book our loads on the load board, we Use TruckStop.com

Sorry about rhat

They can't falsely advertise

Depends on the Commodities you haul

I leave them on but always make sure that you crank them a couple more times because they tend to come loose with The rate that you drive.... Also there's plenty more training videos on the channel

Wow, I never knew there was so much science involved in securement straps! But honestly, I’ve been in the game for a while now and the way I break in my straps is to throw them over the load and tighten them down. I’ve never had an issue with a brand new strap experiencing fibers expanding. When you wrap the entire length of a strap around a winch it will require seem like you’re stretching the material because you can keep tightening over and over again but what’s really happening is you’re just compressing the wrap on the winch. The fibers aren’t stretching, they’re just sliding in tighter into the winch. Engineering isn’t your strong suit. Stick to day cab flatbed.

@@thehovermatic1243 Exactly this. What a waste of time and effort lol.

But it also doesn't do much to help

I literally........cranks winch....... cant

You have to check out some load securement videos

Our country's trade is controlled by the government, even trade between states is controlled by government! Thank the unions for pushing our manufacturing to China by always asking for more from businesses and thank the politicians who have have a hand out for that money lobbyists are paying them plus 10% for the big guy!

This is to replace the straps and to stretch the fibers because when you go to secure a load and the straps have not been broken in yet they tend to give a little more every time you tighten so this way it ensures some type of stress on them so that you aren't constantly cranking out in the field.
