    I just stupidly left my bag of 10 straps at a shipper, somewhere I might not be back for months. And the thought of spending $300 at TA to replace them kind of hurts my soul.

    Any idea where I might buy them for cheaper than $30 a pop? Maybe something like Harbor Freight or Tractor Supply? These are E Track ratchet straps for a van trailer, not the hardcore flatbed ones.

    In Denver most likely, lol.

    Seriously though, I haven't been able to reach the shipper because they are closed already, they might still have them and be able to save them for me. But I'm not planning to go back to Denver soon, especially considering how bad the freight is there. And meanwhile I need more than the four straps I'm left with, in case I end up getting a Hazmat load with singles or a show load or something.

    I was just thinking about asking this earlier. I was looking for them. Loves sells 1.5 inch cheap straps for $25 than you buy the E lock tab for $10 more.

    Harbor freight sell them for 10 but the quality is crap, they’re always getting tangled and stuck in the rachet.
    Some freightliner dealerships sell them for 10 also the good kind of strap

    That's robbery. Crossroads trailer in Albert Lea MN (intersection of 90 and 35) sold me a bunch of the good Kinnedyne ones for about $12 per.

    Another good online place I use is US Cargo Control. They have everything, don't know about the prices on those.

    Where you going? I've got like 45 on the truck. I'd try a trailer place or TEC. Dunno if Shaker carries them.
