We need to get back to some basics.
We have seen a high amount of damaged or cut straps and this is a potentially dangerous situation as well as a non compliance situation. If you do not have enough protection material-carpet, strap protectors, fire hose etc-as us and we will provide.
Also just this weekend we had 3 guys with their boards secured with tarp rubber—THIS IS ILLEGAL. A tarp rubber is not a securement device by DOT standards. You will get written up for Unsecure load-10 points (the max points for a violation). Or unsecure vehicle equipment-which also is 10 points. This goes on the company’s record but also on your personal PSP DOT record. Furthermore what if a board comes loose and falls off and hits someone?? Kills someone???
