Never let a shipper dictate how you secure your load. Just agree while you're there, then when you leave, stop and do what's required by DOT and make you feel comfortable. If DOT sees that you only have one piece of securement on each piece, you're screwed. Not to mention if that one strap breaks, you're career is in jeopardy. Be safe my friend
The ductwork was twisting on the trailer due to only one strap. Each stack should have two straps. Remember, you are in charge of that truck, not the shipper. if they don't want to do it as you know it needs to be done, refuse the load. When something happens on the highway and DOT is there with their ticket book, the shipper is not going to run out and say, "We told her to do it that way."
CYA
@@scottycollins1829 Agreed.
Some of these shippers have no idea how to haul those materials behind a desk but did an amazing job with it Becca thanks for the videos â€
How did I rush securement? I secured it how they demanded. Or else I was damaging the load. Yall are easy to say what to do when you arenât in others shoes. I shouldâve had it offloaded there was no other way. And no I couldnât strap it from the middle bars either. I wouldâve just lost a week of work and costed the company. But I made it. Move on.
My two cents:
I have an idea for strapping that ductwork if you ever have to do another load of them.
Hook the strap on the side of your trailer as normal and throw the strap up over the first side/wall. Bring the thrown end diagonally down through the ductwork to the other side of the trailer attachment point. Only take up the slack on the first one. Repeat the same thing from the other side of the trailer. Alternately tighten each one until they're tight. You need to alternate a couple of times to insure that you don't shift the load off center. The diagonal strapping technique will cancel the shifting each way. I realize you'll need twice as many straps but it will be worth the peace of mind.
Another two cents:
Get yourself a length of light rope that will reach over the top of your load to the ground on the other side. Somehow attach something akin to a softball to the end of the rope. Now you can throw the ball (or whatever) over your load with the light rope trailing behind. Now tie-off the light rope to the end of your strap and pull it up over your load from the other side. Should work in theory.
Now if I can just figure out how to change my smartphone ringtone to you saying, "You Ate My Chicken", that would make my day!
I admire your work ethic Becca. You stay safe out there little one.
All the best from Massachusetts!
âźïž on đ
Correctly
that is great advice well said. like that you Ate myđ Chicken chicken đlickingđ€Łđ€Ł
That was a good idea an could have used plenty of straps to RIGHT ON!
Wow, every time I see a flat bed on the interstate I look at the straps i am not a truck driver. And the shipper new what they were doing was wrong. This load made your hay bales look like a cake walk. You kept it all together.
âYou ate my chicken!â Weâve gotta have this on some merch! Lol đ
Great idea!!
Ringtone.
đ€Ł
Wanna see a big rig Becca woot woot on a shirt lol đ
You should have your merch team create a shower bag, flip flops and towel. CZcams truckers be missing what truckers use out here! Along with tools we use for the truck, tire thumper, flashlight, air gauge, gloves, etc.
Another load delivered. You handle your trailer very well when backing. Better than some seasoned drivers Iâve seen. Take care of those sweet dogs!
When you said âI got a strap onâ I was dying lol
BDB instead of BRB.
Nice camera angles when you're doing the yard moves!
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HAPPY TO GET ANY LOAD DELIVERED AND OFF MY TRUCK.
Yeah they did not put the proper dunnage on there at all. You needed to have 2 pieces of 10 foot long wood on the top and bottom so you could put 2 straps on each stack.
@@chadpflanz8745 I donât think regular dunnage would have cut it. Looking at the load, youâd need 10 ft wide pieces, which Iâve never seen anybody carrying around on the back of their truck. Looks like the shipper tried using regular 8 foot wide pieces in conjunction with smaller pieces because they didnât have anything wide enough. Which was why they kept falling off like she was saying.
@@chadpflanz8745 it wasnât regular dunnage ppl carry lmao. My dunnage is like 60 pounds no way I was getting them on top of the load. Was a skinny piece of wood just to throw a strap over.
One strap on each bundle was just an accident waiting to happen. You got lucky with that load, BRB. But then thatâs all ya need sometimes is a little luck. I bet you learned a few things on that load. You know your in trouble when an office worker is trying to tell you how to do your job. Itâs a bit different rolling down the highway at 65 at 40 ton than sitting in front of a key board and you just broke your nail, poor thing. Been there done that and got the T-Shirt. Some loads just canât get off quick enough. Great video, shows how shippers put drivers lives in harms way. If that would have fallen off, guess whoâs at fault. Anywho BRB, have a great and a safe day, happy trails to you, D..
Two straps per 'box,' common sense.
Yea thatâs what I was thinking yea there light but you have to consider the length
I thought that but I ain't a trucker. She's a great girl though. Hard working.
You can only put a strap where the dunnage is or you'll crush them
@@Nolefan1966 tell dot that one and they will give you the ticket
@@Nolefan1966you can add as many straps as there are rollers,they donât gotta be super tight,but if Becca doesnât have enough straps then thatâs an issue unto itself.iâve had similar loads,absolutely a pain in ass because everything bends and flexes,then you gotta deal with the customer,but Iâd rather do that then have the load shift.Its six of one,half dozen of the other.
It is impossible to not just LOVE BRB!!
Hell yea BRB! Back to back! Posts keep em coming
Haha im trying!! :)
@Bigrigbecca you did great Becca. I take my test for pilot on Wednesday. Iâm nervous. Iâve never driven the pilot car. Once I get it all done, Iâll be fine. They are looking for one more person out of a Joplin to take the test.
@bigrigbecca yes queen u doin well with them pretty feet đ
Yep keep em coming only bright spot of the day
The shipper/manufacture needs to have their contract canceled! They had an estimator that didn't now how to bid the job.....but thinks he/she knew everything.
Been there, had those kind of loads delivered to me and as soon as I saw the load arrive I knew the shipping department and the estimator were not "on the same page!"
I'm glad you arrived safely with no accidents. Keep on trucking!
1200 miles by tomorrow morning? Sounds like those DAWGS are going to help you drive on through the night
your dogs are the most cutest and happiest ever đ€
Love the exterior shots in this video! Especially the headache rack shots. Very creative!
Hi Becca. Found your videos a couple of weeks ago. They showed up in the recommended section for some reason even though I've never watched a truck video but I'm glad they did because I watched one and have been hooked since. Now I'm catching up and watching all your vids! Your personality is great and you are hilarious. You're awesome. Take Care. Woop Woop!
They knew you would like me. LMAO jk but thatâs so awesome Iâm glad you enjoyed and decided to keep watching!! đ€đŒâ€ïž
Great job Becca!!! You got er dun!!
WOOT WOOT!!!
Your the best to get that load there. Prayers for better days ahead. Stay safe pups & mom.
Great great video Becca. You did a great job.â€đ
It's a miracle that load was still on your trailer on reaching your destination WELL done Becca on getting it there I don't expect to see you rushing back to Nebraska for a 2nd helping ..Cheers and best wishes from Sydney Australia
23:44 Nooooooo, I want more! đ Well done managing a shit situation, though.
Hi Becca!
Glad you show the ins, and outs, of flatbed trucking. Is there anyway you could stash an 8 foot stepladder?
Your brother getting his tractor put back together?
Be safe out there! đđ
I'm sure you did the best your best with what you had. Thanks for taking us along for this less than desirable load. Be safe Becca!!!
hi big rig becca i hope you are doing ok i saw your over size load video you did good đ †very proud of you doing good look up trucking with Schmidt he has red kw truck he has a dog to but he has 5 step hook on drivers door this could help with your dogs ok. be safe and keep on trucking by for now
You got it done Becca! Keep up the awesome work! Back to back videos can I get uhh whoop whoop!
Love your videos, safe travels, thanks for sharing .
Becca you are good at what you do. You was able to get the job done and take the extra time to check on your load.
22:30 _"BTW Itâs a ticket for leaving oversize load signs on when no longer having permitted load!!!"_
Many years ago I was about half way through a multi-day, multi-stop delivery. I had just started climbing a mountain in SC toward the NC lane. Iâm in about the highest gear I can run and still navigate the winding two-lane road pulling a 48â box. The line of cars behind me was getting longer. Then I met an oversize escort coming down the mountain with a banner on his front bumper. I slowed down all the way down to second gear in anticipation of meeting a bigger truck. Now the line of cars following behind me was rapidly growing.
After driving about a mile in second gear without meeting a truck, I got on the radio and asked âIs there an oversize load coming down the mountain?â No reply, and I never met a truck. The escort was just driving off-duty still displaying his oversize banner.
After slowing down, Iâm stuck in 2nd gear for the rest of the climb. There wasnât anywhere to pull over until beyond the summit. When I finally was able to pull over, about thirty cars drove past and several displayed their displeasure with my slow driving.
To that escort driver still displaying his banner, thanks a lot buddy! You caused frustration for a lot of other drivers, and made me look like the idiot.
Great đ job and you secure the load that you feel comfortable. These shippers never drove trucks in there life. I know what you mean. I had that same problem before. You should invest v-bords. V-bords helps.
Those are some big ass shiny metal members on your gorgeous step deck Big Rig Bec. Oh yeah!!
Love your work ethic and get it done tenacity! Impressive
Glad you made it safely!â€
Hey brb, love ur content ,u have such determination no matter how difficult the job u always get it done, just wanna put this out there as the driver of that truck u are in charge you tell them how it should b loaded onto ur trailer cause u have to haul it down the highways donât let a loader tell u how to b a truck driver
you are forever slanging these jokes đ€Ł 2:50 hilarious âŒïž
You handled that so much better than I would have, great job BRB
I love your spirit. Letâs get her done.
Great video Becca đ
Afternoon Becca Drive Safe and Stay Safe
Hi Becca, I know for a fact that data centers and a computer chip factory are currently under construction right now around the Johnstown area in Licking County, Ohio. Have a great week and safe journeys on the roadways. đ
Man and ART just wanted you to pull a reefer lol! You're definitely putting in the work!
She doesnât pull reefer??
Safe travels trucking Becca
Good job on getting it done.
Dang Becca!! That was great job!!
Yes Iâm wearing flip flops and I donât give a
f**k đđđđDave H
đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
What a headache of a load!! But you got it there! Becca be safe out there. Next time you'll have it down pat!
I hope you had a great week, love the videos!
Thanks! I hope you did too :)
You should see about getting custom fit oversized load banners for the front and rear for install and securement.
When i hear its the second load in this new position, its still experimental. The shipper receiver maximize there load all they can, up to driver to do the rest. I've pulled 18ft wide with restricted speeds, i rather pull those boxes . Keep on oversize trucking and making videos Becca
Congrats on delivery
Dam becca that allmost looks like an equivilent load to those dam rolls of hay!! Glad you made it ok!â€â€
Wowzer what a tough load. But you handled it like a pro. Job well done Becca
Loads like that are a pain because theyâre hollow and the wind moves them but you got this Becs. Thatâs what she said
You should never risk your safety over their profit. Knowledge takes experience, so you were a trooper, even with a dirky load.
Dirka dirka, was there turbans? đ
Chur all the way from New Zealandđ€ love ya vids, your almost motivating me to start trucking in the USđ
Happy Sunday Becca
happy Sunday!!
@@bigrigbecca Your birthday is exactly 1 week before mine. We are Leo Queens
Me encantan tus videos,admiro tu valentĂa y determinaciĂłn en todo lo que haces,hermosos acompañantes,un abrazo y saludos de un español en MĂ©xico.
Becca it's not problem put 2 straps on cross them through the center like an X through center that way you have 2 straps over each bundle
You are soooooo damn funny. Love your personality. Keep on truckin!!!!!!!!!!
Trucks for different jobs and the HD is really good at handling the heavy stuff!
Thanks for another fun video
it just reminded me of that load with hay that it was falling apart. I salute and knew how u felt. but I'm glad u were brave and. handle it
Love your videos Becca, be safe on your trip back to Ohio
Very interesting. It appears that the boards on the floor should have been to nailed to the nailer board on each side of the bed. It definitely looks like a load that is definitely difficult to secure.
Safe travels Cali
I've moved those a few times, I screwed boards into my deck in the corners of them, and you need two straps over and then use use ratchets to choke them.
Becca you got very lucky on that one. DOT requirements are 1 strap 5ft or less and 2 straps for 10 ft. On a full load you would need 5 straps for 40 ft. Definitely needed two 2 three straps on each unit. Dont let shipper tell you otherwise. They said one strap because the are worried about bending the units. Would recommned corner protectors also. Here is a little trick to help you. I will try to explain but sometimes you have to see too understand. Maybe ill make a video. LOL. Pull out as much strap as you think youll need. Roll the strap just like you were doing. About 6 ft from trailer take the roll in your hand and fold it forward over your extra strap. Grab the extra strap and let it and the strap you rolled up and let it fall back. You want to make large loop with the rolled up strap at the bottom. This will create a sling. Now you can really get some momentum with the strap and it takes all the stress off your shoulders. Also works great when it is very w indy. Stay safe.
PS there are several videos on you tube to help ya.
You handle business. Good shit!
Another lesson learned, another experience to better prepare you for the next challenge. You did good! Be well.
U can always say what's on ur mind love đ
WOW! If you'd have caught some windy driving conditions. đź hats off to you Becca, I'm not a driver so I would have been like cat shittin razorblades the whole trip!!đđ
It was windy the whole time lmao
Man Iâm sorry you had to carry that load like that! I had one similar load once without even any dunnage,I used edge protectors,but that didnât do much to prevent that flimsy metal from bending and creasing at every strap,and yeah stopping every so often to check my load just added to my stress.You done good Becca,Iâd buy you and the furballs a hot dinner for that nonsense load! Like I said before one foot in front of the other,one day at a time,good job hon! Keep it up,youâre doing great.
You need to install some strobe lights on the rear of the trailer and on the truck I would also add quick connect flag mounts on the rear of the trailer and front of the truck
Cross strapping, up one side and through the middle, mirror on other side, to keep from shifting (just like cross chaining a container on a flatbed). Also if you got flat hook straps, use your straps to shift the load. Put the hook on the edge and slowly winch it in, it'll pull the load over
Wow that load was sketchy, I was worried just watching, cant even imqagine how you were sweatuing it out. Cowboy'd up and got-r-done wow. Be safe Driver and have a good one.
What a kick in the Duct!! Keep on trucking BRB!!đșđž
Right on LOL đ
U need that Kareem sky hook! Nice wind up tho...
Take the time to take care of yourself on the road BRB!
I run lowboy,some times My loads are tall. I got like a 50" foot rope like 3/8" inch, tied a hook on one end for a weight, through the rope with hook on it over the load, secure it to strap & pull rope back with strap, much easier than trying to throw the straps.
I'll see you when you get home Becca Ilove you
âI got the strap onâŠnot the strapon but the strap on the loadâ đđđđ
đ€Łđ€Ł
Omg đ€Šââïž what a job! You go tell them! đ you are the Boss! Thatâs tough!
Need get a mini crank for that situation!đâ€
I just wanna say you handled that load like a professional driver should. You should be proud of yourself đȘ †đȘ Keep Trucking girllll â„ïž
That should have not left there yard with one step per bundle.
That was a wobbly load, sandals driving not good. God bless Safe driving. I really admire your ability to do flat bed loads. Maybe consider Referrer loads.
Hey Big Becca,Clean your window,Dame girl.đ€Ł
Hopefully one day I'll see you out on the road to show you a way better and easier way to handle those straps. Will be a lot easier for you after that
I would've strapped the inside support bars so it couldn't move.
They were weak asf they wouldâve broke
Should have just tossed the straps straight up and down on either side, to pull straight down to eliminate the shifting of the load
Great Job Becca. Talk about a nightmare
Hey Becca how are you? I saw you last Friday May 17th, you were going east bound as I was going westbound on I-80 in Omaha Nebraska and I did call you on the CB radio but I couldnât get no answer from you. Yeah it looks like that the shipper that you got the load from did you wrong đ but Iâm glad you made it to your destination safely. Take care and have a good weekend.
Double straps on each unit all the time love
Always looking good my beautiful queen
Try tying a rope to a tennis ball(or something else throwable with a little weight to it) on one end and the free end around your strap hook that needs to be thrown over. Make sure the rope is long enough(like 25-50 feet from home depot) so that theres slack when u throw the ball over. Then u can pull the whole strap over the top no problem and straighten it after its over. I used to do that when hauling railroad ties that were too wide and tall for me to climb on.
1:23
Was that parking lot really uneven?
The cab of your truck was really rocking.
Inspect your shocks and cab airbags.
You were in my stomping grounds sorta lol.
How do you like that freightliner compared to the Kenworth?!
