Why does nobody talk about trailer straps rubbing through on long hauls?

I hauled a Mustang from Denver to Salt Lake City last month and stopped at a rest area outside Green River to check the load. The ratchet strap had worn a groove right into the paint on the fender lip, about 3 inches long. I always edge the strap with a pool noodle slice now, but nobody ever mentions this at the loading lot, just tire pressure and tie-down count. Has anyone else found a better way to stop strap chafe without adding weight?
