    The skids on top of the steel? The mess of securement at the back where they are standing? It may be technically legal, but it sure is ugly

    Had look a little close, do see some chains as well as straps.


    load looks like part of a steel frame building kit.
    The crates and skids are the connecting pieces.

    As loads go, I would have taken it. How ever it would not have been loaded the way it is on this truck.

    If the driver had a communication problem, the loaders took advantage of that and just slammed the load on. that I am not OK with. the loader knew it would take a little time to do it right and knows that this was a shortcut. The driver gets to take some of the blame as well. he could have made an effort to find an effective method of communication. Have a phone?

    Seem to remeber something about being off. As a flatbed driver, thats not unusual, being off. most of us are.
