    I appreciate the kind words from you and @LTL Bull

    I was thinking the same thing. Hundreds of pictures posted here and no one that I can recall was hassled for not getting out and saying anything. Nor do I recall a single time where someone actually claimed to have got out and help the guy redo the securement after posting a hall of shame picture.

    It is what it is.

    Time to move on.

    Most post a picture, you posted a picture and a story about why you couldn't do anything about it.

    You really think going up to someone and politely mentioning that they have loose chains is going to get you shot or something? I couldn’t even imagine living in that kind of fear.

    I’m a grade a ###-hole, and have no problem telling someone to go pound sand. But if someone comes up to me and tells me I have loose securement, and then mentions that there’s a better way to do something I’ll listen as long as they can do so with civility.

    In 20 years in this industry I’ve gone up to many drivers to tell them they have something wrong with their load or truck and had it happen to myself as well, not once was anybody ever even rude to me.
    I have gotten rude responses from drivers when I asked them for help but that didn’t stop me from asking others.

    Attitude makes a big difference in a persons reaction.

    Eta: I have never been or known anybody who was threatened

    Little late to the party aren’t you?
    It’s irrelevant what I think may happen. My beef was with people accusing some of being chicken s***s, snitches, or of being less than manly about it. Please reread the posts as your question was already answered, in a nutshell if you won’t take the time to read and comprehend is this;

    you handle it your way, I’ll handle it mine and don’t accuse my way of being something that it’s not or me being something I’m not.
     
    Kyle G. and JonJon78 Thank this.
