I've used a twist in the strap and that seems to help a lot.

Gotta be careful though, twist in the strap can ruin the strength limit of the strap if it's under load

Edit: others have pointed out it's for cargo straps specifically. I guess I was thinking of more knotting than twists. Either way, just follow the instructions.

Someone tested this and found it to be basically not true. https://youtu.be/ifyJjQXOttE

Interesting. I was under the impression that the vibrations could be a problem if not twisted

apparently it's a hotly debated topic, who knew! https://dccargo.com/blogs/strap-chat/to-twist-or-not-to-twist-cargo-straps

This is how I was trained, yeah. No twists!!
