NO load securement. None.

The truck ahead of him with the same load didn't have any either. He just drove smoother!

Wonder why that Chinese biker gang was stopping, to help or to rob?

 

I didnt know Western Express started running flatbeds overseas!

You guys really need to visit the Phillipines.
30y old (or older) former J.B. Hunt International COE's worn out to the bone,no trailer brakes 80 000lbs+ loads and a driver holding his door shut with his left elbow.

 

Truck was loaded and driven by AAA Autoglass. They were just removing the damaged glass for replacement.

In America, stubborn windscreens are kicked out from the inside. In China they have a more advanced system involving concrete columns and forward motion.

 

Hi daf, Phillipines my eye, I've driven trucks like that right here in the good 'ol USA.

 

That was in China. Chinatown, was that you?

 

I was driving down US-59 somewhere south of Atlanta, TX a few mornings ago. On part of the 4 lane (with center turn lane), straight section of 55 MPH road, some flatbedder lost a load of 12 inch medium wall pipe earlier that morning sometime. About half the pipe was rolled to the west shoulder and the other half got rolled to the east shoulder. Didn't look like anyone else was caught up in what could have been tragic.

This load obviously was not properly secured as it just busted lose driving straight down a decent roadway. He may have taken a previous corner too fast and breached something and it made it to there before it broke lose ... anyway, that's not going to look good on a resume.

 

That guy is candidate for driver trainer at one of the driver mills

 

How much crap has to fall off my truck for me to get a promotion to the safety department?
