Helpful flatbedder sites.

[Sinister]

I just found this website. Ratchet Straps, Tie Down Straps, E Track Tie Downs, Moving Blankets & Pads, Cargo Straps, U.S. Cargo Control

I can't believe how cheap the stuff on there is! You don't want to know what I paid for a bunch of 2" ratchet straps the other night at a truck stop.

Anyway, if you know of any helpful sites, for flatbedding, and load securement, etc. please post them.

Thanks for the link, that should help some people out.

Anytime you have to purchase something for your truck from a truck stop, the cost is absolutely insane.

Here's another one.

I still can't seem to find oversize banners with the sewn edges and metal d-rings on them. If anyone knows where to get them, please point me to them. 20 bucks a shot for the mesh ones that don't last a single trip is infuriating.

Close, but not quite! The ones I'm thinking of are heavier duty vinyl and hvae d-rings on the side. Thanks though.

Aaaaand another one...

Tarpstop ® Solutions for Transportation

Cheapest tarp straps (black bungees) I've found yet. I just wonder if they are the good ones, or the ones with the sort of open hooks that are junk. It'd be nice if there was a pic of the bungees themselves.

I know...I'm way too picky.

FINALLY...tarp repair kits. But looking at the price, I think I'll make my own repair kit. Its basically rubber cement anyway.
