The Truckers’ Report flatbed Hall of Shame.

Or, contractors around these parts.

Along with dirt, rocks, chains, binders, straps, etc. etc. just sitting on the trailer deck.

 

And far, far too many local equipment haulers.

 

But I'm just going down the street.

 

Really want to find the picture, was taken a steel processor. Loading inside building, then finish outside. To get out, you go down a ramp and turn left to get to the parking area. A black/chrome company driver decided to pull out with no securement. He was told it was not a good idea by the loaders. As you can guess, the mess at the bottom of the ramp took a while to clean up. Did I mention it was custom cut sheet stock?
Famous words; “ I am just pulling out to the parking area”

 

buddy pulled into scale like this ?? It must’ve been 20 feet high almost.

 

That's the stuff of claims nightmares. Good looooord.

 

I believe he picked it up a few miles away where they were rock blasting I couldn’t believe he moved it like that . Scale was closed though I stopped to clear snow from tail lights and snap a pic lol

 

Was it snowing during the night......while he was sleeping there?
Could be he raised the box so it wouldn't fill with snow while was parked.........extra weight.

 

Regular steel coils your correct. However rod coils? That is how Charter wants it loaded. Racks on the first and last. Middles touch floor.

But even that depends on end user and heat treat. If its gonna be drawn wire, no problem. If its finished rod thats gonna become a GM trans input shaft. Big problem. There are thousands of different packaging and product.

His loading should be fine, his securement is not!
