The Truckers’ Report flatbed Hall of Shame.

The only thing I see that I don’t like is it looks like he draped the excess chain across the machine. He not the first guy that I’ve seen that thinks for some reason the loose chain can’t lay on the deck. Just scratching peoples #### up for no reason. We are surrounded by ####ing goobers.

 

This morning I saw a flatbed leaving the truckstop with two case tractors. The rear one had its engine running.

Is it possible the driver was preheating it for an easy offload or did he forget to turn it off after loading?

 

Where? Could even have been trying to prevent gelling if its super cold there. Given that its only 1 of 2, trying to make sure it would be good to unload is a decent bet. Ive had equipment loaded that started to go on the deck, then at delivery they had to jump start it

 

Guy in front of me at delivery this am after he removed his "tarp" job.

 

Columbus, OH. It was cold, but not that cold and the front one wasn't running. Just seems odd to me, going down the road with the engine running.

 

Haha, took me a minute to see the issue. Looks like snow all over the load or is that just the sun hitting it?

 

Front half has snow caked from them not protecting the front, rear half has ice on the steel, but no snow from the lack of rear tarp and salt spray melting it... (but snow on the deck behind each board)

 

I've done that a few times but only with a machine that I had to jump start and only if it was off road somewhere and I wasn't taking it very far.
I'm pretty sure it's against the rules.

 

At first I was like that’s a slick looking 362, then I noticed the straps over a couple of the tractors.

 

Well, regardless, you must admit the 362 is still slick...!!
