The Truckers’ Report flatbed Hall of Shame.

Wasn’t sure. Every time I try to zoom in on my phone the pic goes away. Oh like motorcycle straps?! Oh my! That ain’t good!

 

Legal, yes. How I would do it? Probably not, I would have put those lower straps over the tires, not the parts they are sitting on. Maybe a few through the middle of those pipes. I call them gut straps.

only dressed lumber has gut strap requirements, no cargo specific regulations exist for pipe like that.

 

I also would have 2- two inch straps bundling the pipe very close to the flange ends to unitize the whole pipe part of the load, I am actually surprised that the shipper did not band the pipe together.
Tight banding or strapping the ends of flanged pipe will stop the center pipes from sliding in all but the most horrendous of cases.

 

Just in case anybody hasn't cleared it up for Dave.



He may have to show this to the OM and she'll explain it to him.

 

Honestly, the tires are the least of your problem. They are rubber and really wide, so they are grippy and stable.

 

Hold on, what's the question again?

 

I don't know, but I think the answer is seven.

 

Got it, cool, thanks.
