I collected a full trailer load from Marshalls in Halifax last week, and they insist you have 12 ratchets and straps.
They load you with 24 pallets (obviously 12 a side) and ask you where you want the extras situated. I picked up 30 pallets and situated the extra 6 in the middle between the fifth wheel and forward of the tri axles.
You won’t need corners, it’s unlikely your load will move at all unless you drive like a ■■■■. Just strap over the top.
Some depots will check your load, others don’t. If they check and you don’t have the required 12 straps, they will not let you take the load. (Back covering).
Great cheers thats what i was trying to tell my tm.

I wouldn’t strap them. They won’t move.
You are right Eric. Without 12 straps they won’t be moving anywhere 
I’ve moved a few in my time without any straps, on dropsides and curtainsiders.
Only 7 straps ? What kind of a tin pot out fit do you work for

I’ve got more than that on my 18t van
I regularly use 6 and if cable drums could be 3 a row

Your back-load of bricks will be cancelled, apparently Donald Trump is buying up all the bricks for a wall he wants to build

Bricks are for the tortoises. I’m thinking like the hare. Anyway America doesn’t need bricks for a wall. I’ve been selling cactuses to Mexicans for years. They like to plant them in the desert. Keeps the septics out, the spikes prick their fat bellies. Big sellers the cactuses.
No, I set up an online business trading in kittens. I plan to export to the US. I heard T-rump is a big fan of cats. He grabs them whenever he can, says he can’t help it. I’m hedging it’ll be part of his first policies so I want in on a big trade deal.

Tell him they are a bit strapped for load restraints

An irish lorry would have got to the boat in time.
Sorted.

I’ve done both before. First time with ratchets and second time with internals. Unless they insist on ratchets then do what you feel. The time I took them on internals I threw a ratchet over the stack at the back and one over a single stack in the middle of the trailer at the front as the internals wouldn’t make contact with it. Also I’d ratchet anything double stacked as well regardless of whether the place insists or not.
