    Total fail for their company, and a near fail for me. Was brokered to move this trailer 200 miles from Montana to Idaho. Would have been easy money except it hasn’t had an annual inspection since August 2015. It made its way this far without it which angers me. How some people skirt the laws, and get away with it I’ll never know. They’re a drag on the industry as a whole.

    Plus it had a flat tire.

    My own fail. I’ve hauled these racks probably 10 times and never had this happen. I should have been extra vigilant because they did not use but 2-3 metal bands, and the racks were used so some had dents, bends, and deformations. This picture was 16 miles from where I picked it up from. I used 3 belly and 4 top straps for the 20’ section. I had to go back, have them unload, reband them together, and I did 2 under-over-under cross strap.

    Not unless it was bolted from underneath somehow. There wasn't a strap or a chain to be seen.

    heavy coil + old steel flat + sharp corner = disaster

    I was going to say spreads but it looks like tandems. The trailer was on it's last legs for sure. That's crazy.
