The stake pocket /d-ring tie-down could be useful. I know back when I was hauling hay-18 wheeler loads. We were loading out of ca. and bringing back into Tx. Loading Alphapha square bails....the local guys had thier trailers set up with D-rings, they would set the V-boards up and they had one synthetic rope attached at each corner of the front of the trailer and same set up for the back. the rope would reach about a 1/4 way on top of the load. They then use a ratchet come a long hooked to each rope on top of trailer and crank that puppy down tight. Withe V boards it would pull all the square bale up very tight. Jump in the truck and gone. Mean while I am still throwing straps and trying to get stuff hooked right for the long haul back.. I knew then if I was going make a habit of hauling squares alot, I was going to change stuff around and use their method. That little drop in would be nice option for something like that.
