If it takes you several hours to attached 14 or 15 internal straps on either side of the trailer then you should just do fridges or containers. It takes about 10 mins to fully strap an extra long double decker then another 10 mins to fasten up all the curtains which you’ve got to do whether you strap the load or not. So for the sake of 10mins…not several hours :unamused: … you might as well just strap it for what it’s worth. As for missing loading slots, if you do miss it for being legal then it’s not your problem your company and the pallet hub will have to sort it out between themselves but no one and I mean no one not even the bloke who pays your wage can tell you not to spend time strapping it all.

I’ve been doing night trunking for a pallet network for 17 years pulling double deckers all the time. Use internal straps on just about everything regardless - if more is required (and possible) then ratchet it. It’s a lovely idea that everything over 400kg should have a ratchet but in reality many pallets cannot be strapped in that way. I do the best I can with the tools I have and if pulled I can say that I have tried!
I think the best thing DVSA could do (they won’t because they won’t take responsibility) is to visit Hubs, yards, depots and give real world advice on loading a real trailer with the sort of mixed pallets we see every day. Not pulling us in, and issuing tickets when we have done the best that we can.
