    The sad part is all of the idiots running down the road with no locks on a loaded trailer.

    It takes a little longer to get through the lock... you'd think those frozen brains in the cab might actually notice somethin' going on! VERY SADLY, that doesn't always happen.

    so how many miles did you log before you felt comfortable with it all? and how many were you required to log?

    I cant speak for ORD but Ive been pulling flats for 17yrs and some loads still make me nervous. However it also makes me check and recheck to be sure I done it right and keep an eye on it while headed down the road. I felt comfortable the first day I was in my own pulling flats because the company I was with at the time had a very thorough week long class but like I said some loads will always make you a little nervous like greased pipe or bar,particle board or a tall load of pvc pipe. They arent dangerous if secured proper but they WILL move if you drive wrong even properly secured.

    I still cant figure out where to put my locks....:D

    Im with Dan... It took a couple months to get comfortable. Some loads will still keep you very alert at all times. As with anything else, its just experience
