"Super loads' begin trek to Intel site

Karen will intentionally follow these routes so she can complain on social media about not having time to go to Starbucks before she goes to work.

 

Super Load.
I know guy who got wrote up for not having minimum 2 straps, incase one got loose, and no BoL, so he then kept a hand written bol

 

Didnt think you needed 2 straps for anything less than 5 feet and (I think) 1000 lbs.....

 

You don’t need a BOL for your own property either, but never let facts get in the way of a good lunch counter story.

 

What's Intel doing out there? Setting up a new fab?

Under 10 ft but over 5,000 lb needs two straps. Whatever the intent it seems to be good for keeping the front pallets on a load of pallets from twisting out from under the straps. Additionally if it is blocked in the forward direction by a bulkhead only one step is needed that's why you see flatbed loads with two on the front pallet and all the rest have one.

 

Yup they are building a new fab there

 

According to the lovely state of Indiana, anything tied down on trailer is considered “cargo” and if the guy was still alive i could have him send me a photo of his citation.
He may have had a two inch ratchet strap, can’t remember why, this was 20 years ago.
