Watch out for loose junk in your truck bed
You may have seen this story, but it is interesting -- someone left a ratchet strap in his truck bed. It eventually flew out and wrapped around his driveshaft, somehow, causing thousands of dollars ...

I was pulling a flat deck trailer to a auction once with some stuff on it that was ratchet strapped to the trailer. The bouncing down the road caused the stuff to move and the ratchet strap came loose. Then it went under the wheel of the trailer and made a heck of a noise as it ripped apart. The trailer fender got a little bent and the strap was junk but, thankfully nothing serious got damaged.
