I never haul them suicide unless I have to load them that way by shipper or receiver requirements. I've seen covered wagons under secure, but most of us do what's required to keep a coil on the deck where it belongs. Yes we do it quickly, but that's because our securement is already in place.

Update:
Trucker in steel-coil wreck was ran off road, didn’t realize someone had been killed, 911 call reveals
Driver went an eighth of a mile before noticing. Looking at the picture, the coil rolled off to his left. How can one NOT see that much metal in the road! Mirror fail

Coils dont just "fall off" trucks. Please use the right terminology. For example. Driver failed to secure their load.

All "Covered Wagons" I ever saw either rolling, parked, being loaded/unloaded had thick D-Rings on the Deck.
I never, in my short time with Skateboards, pulled a Covered Wagon.
During my short time I preferred Suicide Load as it was easier to "over Chain" as well Tarp.
I will continue to "give lotta room (as feasible)" to Skateboards, Covered Wagons and Heavy Haul!NavigatorWife and Bean Jr. Thank this.
