    I wouldn't say you were bad, you knew your limitations for that job at that time. I probably wouldn't have secured them at all. If I was to confess to all the stuff I have hauled over the last 50 years without securing, it would take me a week. But, most of it was on county road rig & equip. moves. Always knew what I could get away with. Now I will get booted off this site.......

    Oh, i'm sure the dude was overweight too. I had a hydraulic tail trailer, it was heavy. But whatever. Drive your own drive. But i'm not running overweight (well if I can help it. :) ) I'm not going to get popped, but it's a lot of extra stress on tires, etc.

    A flat out here in the boonies is going to take all day to get repaired.
     
    MACK E-6 Thanks this.

    I passed some knucklehead on 50 today with a full load of rebar on and just 5 straps thrown over the top. :eek:

    A couple of times I've looked at the load on my trailer and wished to (insert entity here) that I had a curtain side so I could hide the clusteryouknowhat. Secured, yes, pretty.....nnnnnnooooooppee.

    5 x 5400=27,000 what’s the problem? I doubt he had more than 54,000 on the deck.

    only problem i see legally is if he didn't have a headboard built he needs one extra strap.
