    I would've guessed chain in place of the strap and strap over wouldve been the better choice. Hard to tell but it looks like they could've been chained on the front and back

    Some of those clowns sets Tampa a blaze last night. I think Tampa, & St. Pete are under an 8pm cerfew now.

    About 1.5miles from my door, the us41 bridge from Palmetto in Bradenton was shut down for a few hours. Imbecil's out marching around blocking traffic..

    Good luck to all you fellas heading into harm's way. Keep your wits about you.. o_O

    Looks fishy to me..

    The one that is chained still ain't right. It looks to me the snap binder isn't secured. Got to have something on it to prevent it from popping open in the event of a slack chain..

    I'm not there, but I highly doubt they are bolted to the pallets. Should of had them loaded turn 90° so he could grab all the ears with chain..

    If they are unable to turn 90° because of the fork pockets on the pallet, I'm strapping over top with plastic or cardboard edge protection. If the shipper says no, either get it off my wagon, or go around the corner & throw over top anyway..

    Luck in battle, Three Musketeers. Be observant as you can. If you can avoid a bad situation, avoid it. If things get ugly, don't be nice.
