    Everybody knows , laws dont apply to regular cars :rolleyes:.. Lol wish police would focus on that kind of stuff. I saw one of those dodge work truck the other day and he was hauling what looked like a 2x4 but it had to be 16ft long or so. Didnt have 1 strap or anything on it just had it wedged between the headache wrack and body of truck . crazy ppl i tell ya

    I took a carnival ride on a cat much the same way.
    Had the truck and trailer backed up towards the top of a hill so the beaver tail was somewhat level to unload. (Too lazy to drag rr ties out).
    Next day go to load back up. Ground was melting and things was getting greasy. I was building air in the truck but forgot to charge the trailer. No spring brakes on that old p.o.s.
    I run the cat just to the break over point on top. The little jerk easing it over was just enough to get the truck sliding. Tipping forward and back riding down a hill on back a trailer ain't no fun lemme tell ya!

    We have East trailers with that same sticker, it has the sliding j-hook attachments between every winch that you're supposed to use that have a WLL listed.

    Just wait to drop that trailer loaded and the air ride leaks off overnight. It can push its self over.

    I'm going to guess the tarped piece and the crates on top are from a different load than the PODS. Creative thinking.
