    The whole reason my passenger side bumper is all mangled looking is becUse of an ats tarp about 5 miles after the ats headquarters in St cloud, lucky the bumper is all it did, had to unwrap it form my passenger side steps and throw it in the ditch. If I wasn't in a hurry I would have turned around and through it into there yard

    Dumb question, a single screw is allowed 40 foot trailer max legal right? Or if a single screw is "ag tagged" is it allowed longer?

    I don't remember ever seeing a single screw length limit. You'll occasionally see the freight haulers running around with a 53 behind one in town.

    No such rule or law that I've ever heard of. See single screws pulling 45-53s all the time for local LTL companies.

    Benefit of doubt, they were loaded that crooked.

    I think that may be the issue on this one....had they loaded them touching correctly to begin with it may not have been an issue, even though another problem may be it appears as if the center of the trailer is sunken in

    Sorry, I dont know what I hit to change the font of my typing.

    The middle one ain’t touching nothing.Other than the trailer. Not touching the ones on the outside, not touched by the securement, Not touching the one in front of it

    I was having an issue, trying to type that after the pictures for some reason

    I know it’s not flatbed, but deserves some shame. E24FAAA2-72CC-4F2C-B282-2172620033BA.jpeg
