    It would be cool if you can strap the entire load instead of coupling all the nodes to stabilize it...like in farming simulator..maybe not a strap but even a key can be pressed to fix the loads from falling off..it would save much time.

    I 1000% agree. We should have a way to do it without having to use node grabers since they are so buggy and never work perfectly. Will make transporting cars loaded up much easier.

    I agree, coupling the load to the trailer or bed and then getting into a rollover or a crash the load will stay, NOT LEGIT! but i think adding straps would be amazing put more realism into transporting cargo.
    Node grabbing does not work well with keeping thing with the trailer/bed unless you want to make it stay on all the time...
    But 100 Percent agree with this.

    On the topic of ropes, read this too;

    Which I originally posted here;

    I imagine that with using some fancy node coupling trickery and some rope objects attached to a flatbed, you could have crude but functional load straps.
