What are the steps for the truck rope bundling method?

Truck rope bundling method steps are: 1. Use both hands to make a loop with the rope and place it on the left hand; 2. Make another identical loop with the right end of the rope and place it together on the left hand; 3. Place the second loop under the first loop; 4. After making the loops, pass a stick through the middle of both loops. When pulling hard, hold the rope end with your hand, so the rope will tighten as you pull. A truck is a commercial vehicle primarily designed and equipped for transporting goods. It has a larger load capacity than ordinary flat cars, a greater self-weight, and thus more axles to accommodate the permissible axle load and load per linear meter restrictions of the route. When the vehicle is long, the offset generated when passing through curves is significant, so the maximum width in the middle of the vehicle needs to be reduced to comply with vehicle clearance limits.
I've been driving trucks for long hauls for many years, and the method of rope coiling is crucial, especially for important shipments—if the cargo isn't secured properly, it can fall off. The first step is choosing the right rope—not too old or brittle, and check for any damage. Then, start wrapping the rope from the corner of the truck around the cargo several times, like bundling it up, making the wraps tight to prevent slipping. Next, use a trucker’s hitch to tighten it—that method where you pull the rope to tighten it, create a small loop, and then secure it. Don’t rush; finally, tie a slip knot at the end and hook it onto the truck rail. Check the tension by gently pushing the cargo to see if it’s stable. Safety first—I’ve seen rookies fail to tighten properly, causing the cargo to sway and leading to accidents. Regularly replacing ropes and tools saves hassle in the long run.
