    Ironhunter-
    I always put my excess strap in the doors, these guys had the hood open and said "Ahh we can just put em under the hood" I was like "Umm ok" I always like to tie/strap down my own loads start to finish because it is my rig and my arse if something goes wrong. But I double checked their work. They had only strapped down the front axles, I started pulling the straps out for the rear axles and they said "Ahh you going to strap the back too huh?" I was like- "6800 lbs- yeah- if this were a scrap truck it would have an additional 2 straps on top of these 4- one over the hood to a pocket and one over the bed to another stake pocket." Since this wasn't- just had to go with (4) 3,333 lb rated badboys


    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
