If you have a pickup you should have either bungee-straps, wratchet-straps or ideally, both.
For sure. You don't load your truck without making sure things are down tight.
And you gotta gently smack the item and say "That's not goin anywhere"
Nah. Smack that bitch hard. You gotta make sure it knows it's not going anywhere.
Milk crates. I was trying to come up with some way using wood blocks to hold propane tanks in the truck bed, then I discovered the milk crates the previous owner of our house left. They work GREAT for 20 lb and 30 lb propane tanks. Easy to strap in, as well.
I don't know why someone would want to carry a propane tank in the cab of their vehicle, unless they absolutely had to. I know I did it many time before getting a pickup, putting the tank in my car, and making the trip as short as possible.
