    I wouldn’t get to far ahead on the undamaged part, that trailers got a pretty good twist.

    Just do the same thing on the opposite side on the way back down and it'll straighten right out...;)

    That could have gotten really expensive. That road isn’t great to begin with. Maybe driving the crane up would have been better other than it’d only go 15 up the mountain. Or close the road for a bit so he could use both lanes around the corners.

    I'm thinking they keep the road open due to the accident as a one lane road.

    Saran wrap on bricks keeps them from shaking out. Not much more you can do. So, yes. It helps a lot.

    Yeah there's more they can do. They can band them.

    It doesn’t work, you have to band every layer and no matter what the bands won’t stay tight. We shrink wrap brick and it keeps it tight, then we strap it.

    CT has a state law bout brick hauling: needs to be covered to within a couple inches of the deck on all sides. The cos set outside of the brick yards and write healthy tickets for it.

    Some guys tarp them, some use brick mats, some use orange Snow fence and bungee the ends before strapping.
