Load Securement: There's no such thing as too many bungees.

---

Ratchet straps (tie-down straps) are strong, adjustable webbing straps used to secure cargo on a flatbed, trailer, or inside a truck to prevent it from shifting or falling during transport. Common sense, eh?

A bungee cord is a flexible, stretchable cord made of elastic strands covered by a woven fabric sheath, typically with metal or plastic hooks on each end. Caution:

Not suitable for securing heavy loads like ratchet straps — they’re meant for temporary or light-duty fastening. We have to say this becuase you know someone did it once!

Chains, hooks, and binders are load-securing tools truck drivers use together to anchor and tighten heavy cargo on flatbeds—chains provide strength, hooks connect points, and binders apply tension to keep loads safely in place. This is Fifty Shades of Grey... and we do mean gray. Not, nevermind.

A winch and bar system is what truck drivers use to tighten and secure winch straps on a flatbed trailer—the winch holds and tensions the strap, and the bar provides leverage to tighten it safely and securely. Not to be confused with a bar wench. 

A tarp (short for tarpaulin, WTF?) is a heavy-duty, weather-resistant cover that truck drivers use to protect and secure cargo on a flatbed trailer from rain, wind, sun, and road debris during transport. Just get one.
