my mate used to be a trucker running flat beds, it was amazing watching him rope down his wagon.

 

I can rig a fine lattice of rope!

 

years of practice from back in the day loading/stacking brush on a flat bed old ford d series, and hand balling it off each nite!

 

Tis an art to stack, and an art to tie it down, all trainees should get at least a year of it!

 

character building is that!

i reckon followed by a year of mashing down with an 046 in a high sided transit tipper.

although tying down and mashing seemed hard work at the time, you had no worries about owning a chipper, cutting things down to fit through it, and the hassles a chipper can bring. i made my high sided transit with a huge top hinged back door like a cylage trailer, it was great, i could fit so much stuff in it, and then throw the heavy in the back over the axles so it fel out first. 5000 posts andy, this thread will take some beating mate.
