    has this one been shared, yet?

    I’d say his buddey is playing a prank on him. Or he’s just forgetful and didn’t actually check the orientation. Or, hear me out — “officer it actually gets their attention instead of them just reading it and moving on to their next stupid choice of the day.”

    That chain is not legal either you can't use one chain you have to have two separate chains,

    What? There's nothing wrong with the chain. He's got the binders hooked directly to the sides and slack in the middle between the 2 independent tiedowns. It would change nothing if you were to split that chain in half somewhere in the slack part.

    Well that was many moons ago and I guess I just generalized it. I've never done it since then and when I saw other people doing it, I was like well I guess they just don't know. Thanks for clarifying that and setting me free...

    It looks funny to see someone else do it! But a few months ago I flagged a load early morning fore I headed out and somehow got mine upside down… Never saw it till I was ready to unload

    It's easy to do. I put my front one on the bumper. Was talking to another driver while I was doing it. Got done and was walking around the rig putting flags on ,came around to front and saw it upside down. We were ready to pull out so the other driver came up to see if I had a problem. We were like , how in the heck did we both not see this .
