    Load securement... why are some truckers not checking the loads their hauling?
    It stumps me why any one would be driving around a city or highway with part of their load ready to fall off their truck or trailer behind them. Ya got to be @#$%£¢€ blind not to see a problem with part of the load ready to fall off. Are some drivers just too lazy to do so, or do they just give not a @#$%.

    It only takes 5 or 10 minutes to check a load, or would you rather take 5 to 10 days to clean up the mess after your load falls off your truck or trailer?

    Oh well with freight theft at an all time high, it makes it easier for the thieving beggers to get the stuff without damaging the trailer or securement devices LOL

    You get what you pay for where drivers are concerned?
