My company went from using oak blocks to the composite turtle plastics in all the service vans. Guys were making some of their own from pine and other soft stuff and that’s wasn’t good. We have a variety of sizes and lengths now plus wheel chocks too. Glad they made the investment in us and they work great.

We have oak blocks for some heavier stuff. The 6x6's you see here are old PT landscape ties. I agree tho. With these you have to be sure to turn them against the grain so they do not split.
