    You can certainly find them at truck stops, e.g. Petro.
On the other hand, you'd be amazed at how many of those truckers' bungees I
see lying on or beside the road around here in NJ (lotsa trucks).   They do
not last.  Mostly, they're broken where the rubber wraps around the
hook.....    I think the truckers probably overkill the use of them so if
one comes off it won't matter much.
