    coach leather... I remember when my sister bought a real Dunn Burke pur$$e (long time ago) and I thought to myself. I can get that for 10 bucks in NY. [I probably messed up the name, it had a duckhead for a logo]

    Guy screwed up. Should've had belly straps on it. He didn't and he will pay the price.

    Just an uneducated guess, but through reading earlier posts from AT, it seems to me he quit flatbedding so he could pursue a more normal life. When were you home last?? And it says you only been out a year? who are you to judge?

    Lol, I like how AT critiques someone else's screw ups but prob wouldn't even post his own if he made any mistakes. Sure ya hauled some loads of pipe in your 4 months of flat bedding but that doesn't make you any expert.

    That pipe is 50' long and didnt move and inch, i cant remember how many straps i had on it but there was quite i few i wanna say 16 or so, and everytime i stopped i was able to get at least one more tooth out of at least a few of the winches lol, it got old real quick. And thats as far up as that landing gear goes.....






    thats as far up as the landing gear would go



    thats as far up as the landing gear would go






    ummm no, try again. The rolls of 4" pipe are plastic as are the 9 pieces of 50' pipe both out of Performance pipe......









    I never claimed to be an expert, i only said that i know enough about secureing pipe that i am more then qualified to call the prime driver an idiot. And the Closest thing i had to a "mistake is those Giant transformer things i hauled to a Electric substation, and ONE of the two moved a whole 2" in the first 1.5hrs at which point i added another chain and it never moved after that. I traced ALL my loads on the trailers with a sharpie had anything ever moved (like that one load did) i imediatly knew about it and fixed it. And i DID post about that load as well as post before and after pics in my blogg....so move along

    U.S. Marshal coming to the rescue at the chicken coop is a close second.
