Round protrusions on side of 18-wheeler trailer

Ok I got home and dropped my truck off at the truck stop and realized, hey, i'm pulling an ugly trailer! Since it's empty, i climbed in and took the pic i promised:

Basically this trailer has a very thin aluminum skin, the inside is thin fiberglass, and so those logistics ports are the only way to secure loads. And to make them flush they stick out the side of the trailer. They're almost useless though.

 

That's freaking funny right there!

 

what about san antonio? How was the pic above taken in Benton Harbor, MI?

 

What...no illegals in Benton Harbor, MI....give em some time...they will come!

 

Bull, there has to be illegals! So many mexicans workin the farms compared to the population the census reports! Census claims 96% black but it sure seems like theres atleast 10% mexicans. Hmm.

 

Wow, I thought that they were to break the suction of the wind going past the smooth sided trailer. They use a rough surface paint on some boats to create a turbulence in the water that lets the boat move faster through the water.

 

Made a short video for you a few minutes ago...

HA that's awesome. Just have to make sure you say it in this voice:

 

When I worked for WestSide Transport, they had those. They give you like four straps in orientation.
Effective, but a pain rolling the straps back up afterwards. When your last pallets extended a foot beyond the holes the straps put a bind on the corner boxes on the pallet. I didn't like them.
