    I went to Reno to drop a trailer and bring back my skateboard so they can load it for when I back from vacation. That is what I get lol

    Yep. I took a load of honey, in about 40 or more 55 gal drums from La. to Pa. Where it became “Amish” honey. Lol. I had an emergency stop, on a back road near Troutville Va. I was a little over gross.. All the honey slid to the nose. I must have had 65k or more on the drives. Did my best to secure the tops back on them. None of them tipped over. It’s a wonder the trailer didn’t break in half. Got there, honey spilled everywhere. Thought I’d have a claim. Nope, they unloaded It, and even washed the trailer out. Whew!!! That was a rough trip.

    You’re right, I had half the barrels in the nose, half in the back. 2 straps holding the ones in back. It was OK, but not good enough for slamming the brakes. I should have had a 2x4 nailed to the floor.

    Lol that is the base for the billboard. The other pieces are for the frame and the actual sign itself. Only took me 2 hours to strap it down :rolleyes:
