One of the 2 tie-down straps broke on I-5 due to the harmonic vibration in the strap and rubbing on the wood. Somehow the straps stayed on the trailer and I was able to tie them back together and continue on.
Between every time the strap crosses a corner, give it half a twist. This twist will break up the harmonics and greatly reduce vibration. It's an old truckers trick, and it makes an incredible difference.
