    Thanks Tater. I always tie down my loads. We also load our stuff a certain way. I put all of the stuff that is flat and likely to fly out ( i.e. tin roofing, washer shells, etc.) on the bottom. Then we put long poles and heavier items on top to hold the light stuff down, followed by lighter stuff thats ratcheted down to hold everything together. Then stuff little stuff in the cracks to add weight. Kinda like a sandwhich I guess. We've never had anything fly out yet. (Knock on wood)
