    I don't recall ever seeing any driver wearing loafers. Just boaters.

    Suicide coil, loaded across the trailer, so if it breaks loose, it kills you.
    Homicide coil, aka shotgun coil, loaded eye front to back, so if it breaks loose it kills the mini van riding beside you.

    Thought of another one- one of the better terms in Flatbed terminology.... SLINKIES

    Slinkies are coiled steel rod.
