E track, logitics post, A track, Load bars?

Just to add if I have to used load locks(that push out). I use a strap also. The trailer flexes going down the road and the load locks end up in the floor. A strap pulling in stops this. We have a couple of shippers that require load locks, I will just use both. But they will not let you leave till they see that load lock. Which will fall by time I get out of their lot.
Also to add load bars have the same clips in their ends as the straps , and are usually made of square aluminum . Used with E track (runs front to rear) , they are great for rolling equipment . Post office uses several types of rolling containers. Best to plan for what you haul the most . You will never be prepared for every thing life throws at you.
3 or 4 ratchet straps and 3 or 4 load locks. Load bars are good, if you have E track. But useless if 20 inches away from the load!

 

I use E straps and E load bars since my product is delivered on wheeled carts,I have 12 straps and 2 load bars that I use to secure my load.

 

Richer, load locks are bars that push out (telescope ) , have a rachecet out like a bumper jack or a rack and pinion setup. They use friction to hold them selves in place.
The load bars latch into the tracks and neither pushes nor pulls , just sits there . Till freight try's to move.

 

"I think you mean e track. As far as I know, logistic posts and e track are basically the same thing except e track will usually run horizontally the length of the trailer, sometimes two or three strips on each side. And logistic posts are e track posts that run vertical with the slots and I think they are every 2 feet."

Correct. E-track is horizontal; logistics posts are vertical. The slots are much closer together but the posts themselves might be spaced 2 feet apart. Post spacing can vary.

I used to carry 13 pieces of plywood and 26 bars (plus a few dozen straps and 150 blankets). With the plywood and bars I could deck the trailer and carry high-volume, light weight stuff that can't normally stack on each other. (I never hauled heavy.) Lots of tradeshow/event stuff is like this.

When I had my own authority, and before, when leased to Landstar, I got into tradeshow/event freight because it pays quite well and it's light. Now I'm a company driver but haul mostly the same stuff - tradeshow, event and display stuff. All our trailers have posts or tracks or both, and can be equipped with other equipment if needed, depending on the freight.
