Georgia cops challenge you to spot the violation.

Come on y’all....you know straps are for folks that can’t drive!

 

Stephens Pipe & Steel, Greensboro, NC, division.
I was working thru a Temp to Perm Local Driver Service.
Night crew loaded Trailers from 17:00 to 23:59.
No Strapping by Loaders, not their job.
Drivers strapped/secured Load.
"I'm sure" there were parts of Loads that no needed securement (center of trailer), YET for Drivers' Sake, "weird stuff happens", and all flatbed trailers had a few dozen rachet straps in side boxes.
MY SECURED LOADS never faltered.

Fun part of some loads were having the customer with tractor/forklift remove/replace pieces to access their pieces.
"The more the pieces are handled", well, usually were not a problem.

- - I had one incident created by another driver in that he took MY load and was called a bit later after yard supervisor arrival. Driver was 2 hours out, so I had a nice paid break. Load securement, observed when back, equalled my preference.- -

Some Companies, no matter how large or how many locations, whined (whinged) about repairs needed and some few stated "we'll repair it when you return", where I usually stated "It no leave till repaired"!
CHEERS!!

 

Its glued to the trailer !
Nano technology

 

Dry vans do it all day long

 

“ But it’s only going a couple miles down the street, we do it all the time!”

The Georgia Department of Public Safety (DPS) shared a glaring load securement issue as their “Violation of the Week.”

On November 1, Georgia DPS took to Facebook with a single photo captioned “Violation of the Week – Can you spot the violation?”

Several Facebook users took advantage of the Georgia DPS post to poke a little fun at the situation. Check out some of the comments below.

• Did he nail the pallets to the deck of the trailer? Lol
• He’s got the new Bluetooth straps
• Yall can’t see the ghost straps????
• NOT A SINGLE STRAP ABSOLUTELY INSANE LOL
• Clear straps are not DOT approved
• Aww the good old 2G method of securement, god and gravity
• Clearly nobody did the “that’s not going anywhere” check
• Makes unloading easy

The absolute sheer driving force of our national economy - without truck drivers, our entire national economy would come to an absolute standstill - if not outright be dead.

Over the mountains, through the woods, into the valleys, coast to coast, from sea to shining sea - truck drivers can and do go anywhere and everywhere, every day, every night, all year round.

 

LOL @ the 2g method. God and Gravity.

Did anyone watch the newest episode of Moonshiners where Josh loses a skid of watermelons off the flat bed? lol

 

Maybe he forgot he wasn't pulling a curtain van.
