The Truckers’ Report flatbed Hall of Shame.

Hopefully a coworker is playing a prank....

 

Well if it flips....it will be right side up. : )

 

I did that about 6 weeks ago. I blew a tire and shredded my banner. I put the 4th down and raised the axle with the blown tire. Rushed to put my spare banner on, and took off. I delivered my load and was putting the 4th back up and realized I put the banner on upside down. Felt like a noob

 

You know what Red would say don't you.

 

What do you expect. Its Western Express. I cring when I see them loading a coil

 

So, are there still cops that are overly anal about the divisible load standards? My first thought was that those bales tucked in there is just asking for trouble from Trooper Richard Head.

 

He may not be overweight and thus it wouldn't matter. We haul our forks and bucket together with our loader and gross about 88k. I haven't been bothered, but there is some language stating that it is OK if it is an integral part for the operation of the machine. Kind of a grey area. If I weren't allowed to haul both I wouldn't be able to load whatever I went back for.

 

What in the ####

 

Pretty sure tmc would fire you for rolling like that if one of their snitches called safety on them.
