Looking for and offering securement advice

[Beetlegeuse]

I've been driving about 8 years and have switched over to flatbed in the last 3 years. I got a little training on securement and tarping, but most of it I learned the hard way. In hopes of helping the newer guys and getting advice from the vets on what I'm doing I'm starting to make some videos on these matters.

So far, I have a grand total of 1 done!

Would anyone be interested in having a look at it and telling me what you think?

I scanned through it, not as much securement as other stuff. Might be a market for it but not to interesting to me. Might consider making separate videos on the subject matters.

Separate content agreed.


Loose the head cam. I stopped watching because of it.

I stopped watching because it was an hour long.

I stopped watching because it was an hour long.

I was jumping around a couple spots. The length is definitely a turn off.

There's reasons a lot of TV programs are 30 minute blocks with 12-14 minutes of commercials.

That’s why I scanned through it.

Your description of the video is a little different than the video. I agree with the others...

If the video was 98% on topic of the video (securing or tarping one type of cargo)...
If the video was less than 10 minutes long...
If you used stationary camera, and get rid of the head cam...

I'd probably watch every one. Sometimes I'll be curious how you secured something, but I'd usually be watching to see what kind of tricks you have up your sleeve, that you don't even think about.

Way way way too much camera movement. And your rub rail IS NOT an anchor point. I don't care who told you to do it that way. Also the straps go UNDER the rub rail, not over it. That's what it's there for, to protect the strap.
You lost me with the "fung schwei" (or however it's spelled) comment.
Don't get me started on securing loads with chains. Some of the stupidity I see there makes my head hurt.
You have a lot to learn guy. Maybe it's a little too early to be making videos.

Great opinions, be careful giving opinions as regulations because is confuses people
