The Truckers’ Report flatbed Hall of Shame.

Is it just me, or did anyone else get a shiver down their spine seeing this?

 

I sure did. Now those reels are between 3500-4000 lbs each, so he’s within his WLL, but still... that just ain’t right!

 

Well, that's a first! I can honestly say in all my years on the road, I've never seen that approach before. (A) for ingenuity, but (F) for safety. Wow, where do guys come up with this crap?

 

I hope this is at the shipper, where they will stop that driver and say try again.

 

I didn't take the picture and wasn't involved, so I don't want to give too much info out of respect for our customers. But I'm pretty sure this was a case of throw it on the trailer and let the driver figure it out.

 

WoW. Been a while since doing those, seem to remember the places that I did had a loading/securement instructions sheet.

 

Saw a Montgomery transportation driver with 5 coil's.8k per coil and he had 2 straps securing each coil and didn't see a problem.We live in very dangerous times.Thankfully I'm retiring soon.

 

How where they loaded?
