We really enjoy owning a truck! Our model is relatively new crew cab, with a short bed. It’s a great looking truck and serves us really well.
Honestly, though, our kind of truck has a few trade-offs. We like what we get in the way of comfort, the room in the cab, and the use of an inside area than can be used either for cargo or passenger seating. The 66” long bed works for many things, but hauling items 8’ and longer is dicey. And I do that a lot, so it’s always been inconvenient to secure the load well. The Loadd Sheett is a canvas bed extender to allow you to quickly secure longer items like plywood, lumber, pipe, steel, or even a canoe or kayak! The Sheett is intuitive to use, and secures the load to the hooks and latch points at the back of your bed, keeping the load pressed up against the front of the bed, and lifting up so the load is distributed well. It even comes with a safety flag, and you can attach a flashing LED for evening hours. The Sheett is both designed and manufactured in the U.S.A. The Inventor is a young entrepreneur (his early 20’s!) named John Nogaj (pronounced NO-guy). The Sheett is currently patent-pending, and there are additional products and models being created. This is a premium product, very heavy duty, and backed with a lifetime “Full Loadd Guarantee.” While we did not receive any payment for this episode, John Nogaj of Loadd Co. did provide units at no charge for testing and review. There were no conditions placed on the review, with full agreement that we could review the product and say what we wanted to say - and we did. It’s our pleasure to find good products that we think serve a practical need and pass them on to our viewer family. And, we especially like to support young, bright business people like John of Loadd Co. To learn more, visit https://loadd.co/, or visit their Facebook Page by searching @LoaddUSA.

Hey, Dirt Farmer Jay from DirtFarmerJay.com.
Welcome to this edition of Truck Life.
I love having one of these trucks.
And if you have this kind of model, too, with an extended cab on it,
you love it, too.
But the problem is trying to haul stuff sometimes.
And how do you do that without spending a lot of time
tying it in and making it safe?
I found a great product and approach out there.
I think you're going to like. Stay tuned.
Hey, Dirt Farmer Jay here from DirtFarmerJay.com.
Well, if you're like me, you love having a great looking truck.
I like these short beds because they keep the proportion of the truck
looking stylish.
But when it comes time to load longer stock
or carry a kayak or those types of things, pipes,
sometimes it's hard to make this really work well.
And you only have a couple of approaches you can take.
But one of the limitations are is that the bed of these kind of trucks,
if I measure that out, is only about five and a half foot long.
Well, you're even a standard piece of plywood is not going to fit in there
without hanging over the back.
And if you get stock like this here, I have a couple of two by sixes
that are 12 foot long.
Well, you add a couple more feet if you want to put in a 14 footer.
And if you add a 16 footer, you're all the way out here.
Well, look at the amount of hangover that's happening at that point.
You only have a couple approaches that you can do to try to stabilize
that truck load.
And that is either to put something at the front of the load
to press down on the front to reduce the fulcrum action that happens.
It gets worse and worse with more load out the back.
Or you can do something to lift this up and to keep it forward in the bed
and to lift a little bit forward pressure to counteract
both the downward force of the load and also the backward force
as you accelerate.
Well, you can throw a ratchet strap across the top here,
but it's not going to do a lot of work in that it'll put some downward force.
And if you wrap it around, it'll stop it from coming back.
But that doesn't help this too much unless you weigh down the front.
I try to do everything I can do out here.
So, number one, it's accessible.
And number two, it keeps everything forward in the bed.
Well, there is some really cool
innovation that has happened by a company called Load
and Load is spelled unusual.
Oh, L-O-A-D-D.
And they make this great product called the sheet.
And he always uses double consonants on the end. Kind of cool.
So it's a load company and the sheet is spelled S-H-E-T-T.
And what this product does is it hooks at the bottom of the bed,
loops around the back and hooks back and is cinched in,
keeping the load forward.
It's made out of material that's easy to keep maintained.
It isn't boutiquey.
You can wash it up when the load's all done, because when you're out and about,
you're going to get mud or dirt, dust on it.
And then when you're all done, you can put it back in its container
like this and stow it, and then it's ready for you to use the next time.
Well, let's take a look at the product itself
and let you see how it's constructed and how it's put to use.
OK, let's go ahead and take a look at the product itself.
As you can see, it's constructed of a really nice material.
Heavy duty straps.
Says right in the corner, they're made in the USA.
And I want to give a call out to the entrepreneur behind this.
His name is John Nogai,
out of the heartland of the United States.
Young entrepreneur, only about 25 years of age,
has created this company called the Load Company.
And this is their premier product, which comes in different sizes
depending on how much bed extension.
This is really a bed extender device.
And looking at it right here, it's pretty intuitive here.
What we're going to do is we're going to take the nonsense in of the straps here.
We're going to hook it up into the bed.
We're going to put this under the end of the load.
And then we're going to take these other straps over here,
connect it back and then cinch it in.
We'll finalize the action by wrapping this around the load and cinching it in
and then putting on the included
flag, safety flag that's always required in these types of loads.
If you're running after dark, a good little flashing LED light,
red light, that sort of thing is not only good courtesy, it's smart.
And in some areas, it's the law.
So be very aware.
OK, let's go ahead and make use of the product here.
What we're going to do is hook these stationary straps.
And what I mean by that, they don't have any adjusters.
It's just this fixed attachment point.
And notice how heavy these dudes are, man.
These are great hooks that are on this.
I really like it.
Powder coated.
This is a premier product.
You can tell we're going to go ahead.
And I like to start with the the pouch that we're going to form pretty close.
So we're going to go ahead and move this up like this.
Go ahead and hook one side to your first attachment point.
Hook the other side to the second attachment point.
We've got a good start.
Now we're going to just take this, pull back on it slightly
till we hit about center, fold over, take this back.
And now you're going to go ahead and attach that second attachment point
and pull back on your strap after you open the keeper.
Latch down the strap again and repeat back to that.
Open the keeper again right here.
When you do that allows you to pull
till you're cinched, then go ahead and close the keeper.
And it tightens just slightly more when you do that.
So now you've got these here and I just stow them like this
so they're not flapping around.
We do the same on the other side.
Now the cinch around this, you now have this strap right here.
I'm just going to cross them around like this.
And you can cross again and again
until you're to a place where you can put it together.
Well, now you've got all of this forward.
It can't come back.
It can only go a little bit side to side.
And if I really wanted to cinch it down tight, I could get it stationary
or you could throw another strap over.
And if you want to know how to use a ratchet strap correctly,
check it out in the end panel at the end of the video.
Now let's go ahead and throw on the flag.
And notice Lode has engineered this very nicely.
Here's these little attachment points here.
There you go.
You have a very bright flag that's on the back.
This is absolutely secure.
There's no place it's going to come out.
You've effectively extended the bed of your truck.
This is a 12 footer.
You can come out to two more foot.
And I would say eight foot out this far is about as far as you want to go.
Just simply for safety and for visibility and knowing where the load is.
Well, I think this is a great product.
I think it's a great approach
of keeping the load supported and forward and secure.
And all the straps are really heavy duty.
