    I hope that load of garbage freight pays a lot better than nice and easy sticks and bricks. Otherwise I would run from that.

    I've hauled similar loads when I worked with Western. It looks scary but it will hold serve. Dont forget edge protectors, and always try to run your straps over the smoothest parts of the load. I think I like the idea of using a 2 inch strap over the boxes, and other parts of the load like previously mentioned. It's never a bad idea to have too much securement.

    We’re a little past Amarillo and when I stopped at a truck stop to check the straps and because my time was up, the one on the back shifted and he said the most typical thing ever, “What did you do?!” Lmao oh yeah blame the trainee; got it back on there and put another strap on it. He said if it gets any worse he’s gonna put a chain on it and I’m like, “Oh so now you’re worried about securing it?”

    Apparently he likes the smell of my sweaty balls lmfao idk why but this ain’t flying with me. We only stop to fuel, pick up, and deliver; I even took my 30 minute break while fueling, had to fix a strap and ate my food while driving

    Ya, with 2 of you, should be plenty time to stop&shower plus get your laundry done at the truckstop.

    I agree he should not be training, that's ridiculous.
