    And what do y’all do in a situation like that? Do you call someone to restack you? Who do you call?

    I’ve always wondered this. What do you do if you have an unsafe loadshift and you’re on the side of the road?
     
    cke and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    Use your Cat key and borrow the excavator from that construction site you just passed.

    Or so I've heard. ;)

    Ive never been in that position before but id call a wrecker to come fix it .. Not sure what else to do there...maybe get to the nearest parking lot or rest area close by to get off the road, dont think id tell my company ... this seems like it could be grounds for a easy firing

    Not being a smartazz here, you do your best to not be in that situation. Should it happen, a lot will depend on the material and where your at. Tow companies are usually a first choice.

    The math and picturea arent adding up unless you mean the 5 is up top

    And that last odd peice is really what looks like did it, no way to secure that properly except honeycomed or secure everything then the last one up top on its own.

    Now, for homework... go read and study the flatbed photos and hall of shame threads. Pay attention, and you're likely not to find yourself in this situation again.

    How do you unstrap that load without everything falling on top of you now?

    I recommend against driving 65 to 70 mph in bumper to bumper rush hour traffic. :angel4:
