    Could have at least tossed a net from Harbor Freight over it. Drivers generally are there own worst enemy.

    heard it a million times, "it's too heavy to go anywhere", "I'm only going 10 miles down the road".

    I find a lot of these threads a bit ridiculous, but this guy was just stupid. 10$ Wal Mart tarp and no issues.

    This guy deserves jail, for being dumb

    my dad has a landscape supply center, and you would be floored how much gravel leaves there on flatbed trailers right like that. I’m guessing the skid loader with no securement is what got their attention, they probably would’ve left him slide on the gravel
