    Was on US75 this morning heading towards OK when I heard a commotion on the CB needing to get a flatbedder stopped. Thinking it might be something about me, I asked what was going on. When I finally figured it out I saw this guy coming up my rear and pass me, none of his straps were tight and one section of pallets was completely missing a strap. This happened (see video), lucky for the 4 wheeler he was watching or this could have turned out worse. By the time someone finally got him to stop he had lost 3 pallets and was about to lose several more. I also included a screenshot of the video where he went around me.

    He must have had something really big on his mind. Seems like he could have seen in his mirrors that it wasn't strapped down good.
    By the way, what brand dash cam do you use? That's a very clear video.

    It's the new road dawg cam from Petro. The one that has one camera in the windshield and then another you can put facing the back of your truck. Comes with something like a 30' cord. Really nice.

    I don't ever set the date, if the battery ends up dying for some reason or another it just resets itself.
     
    camaro68 Thanks this.

    Wrong date/time it'd be worthless if you had to use it as evidence for some reason..like to CYA.

    A guy posts a video of some clown that doesn't have his load secured and it turns into riding the op because the date and time isn't set on his camera. Unreal.
