    Here is a photo of my load near full, where the hell does the chains and binders go?:biggrin_25523:

    No D rings in the floor, not one friggid place to chain down to.

    LOL bored yes, making money oh heck yes, have to find one heck of a great paying gig to come off this so far.

    Since it took them 5.5 hours to load me I got detention pay also, just not sure how much yet but I think of it as anything is better than nothing.

    I thought of that also, they placed them for me, LOL just cannot see them in the photo.

    I was told that it was a driver tailgate at the delivery site so I called the broker with better photos, asked him how he would handle it getting it to the tail.

    Company will be onsite with a forklift to unload it.

    It is pretty secure, straps and load bars not the cheap kind but the square bars, nailed to the floor with toe boards. If this stuff gets loose it will be more than a shifting load to worry about.
