    Go spend $3.50 on a piece of lemon bread, it's sooo good. I'd freebase that #### if I could figure out how. Coffee is good too. Expensive but good.

    Close the doors and it's out of site out of mind. Only way they are getting inspected is if they wreck or get pulled in for a level 1.

    I would agree on the not legal part. Not sure what the legal requirements are because normally I was only worried about keeping stuff from falling over. -- Not secured to the dictates of some bureaucratic stack of paper.

    But with how much the walls move when straps are tightened? My opinion is anything above the first two holes would be a waste of time.

    Here's the thing; the drivers are getting by because van securement is typically not inspected (the exception being Hazmat). I pulled through one roadside inspection place in New Mexico and all van types were waved through. All flats were getting their securement checked over (Looked like a bunch of Kadets in training). Looked like they were also checking tanker's valves and seals.

    Didnt even think of that but thats a great point... they will definatly be getting a lesson in physics hauling that stuff 1 to many times with that little bit of useless securement lol
