I Wouldn't Haul This....

you know that doesn't matter, everybody piles on and crucifies the guy, turns out hes 2 miles from delivery.

 

but it may have dropped down like that part way thru the trip, and you are correct it could have been supported and chained to stop that from collasping so far

 

This picture should explain it all. You must not have caught it when Blind Driver posted it earlier

 

You would have used straps instead then? Just like on those tractors?

 

i didn't see the pic earlier. wouln't pull up with the lousy area i was in.

i'd have to agree that he should have had one of them light bars that them tow trucks use when towing other trucks.

brakes, turns, and lights.

OR, do like the above mentioned. more wood in the back. and probably chains.

when i haul oversize. i've got lights for both long and wide. so i can drive at night if the state allows. but i won't drive some of the wide loads i've been seeing. at night. and no lights.

 

Guys. Its ok he was 2 miles from delivery. Nothing can happen in 2 miles. Its ok.

 

I have been having an internal struggle about this situation. My non-trucker reaction is that if he is doing something illegal/unsafe it is between him/law enforcement/shipper/receiver. The rest of you should bud the hell out. On the other side, I am concerned about Trucking's image with the rest of the public. That being said, I am not sure we will ever be able to overcome "public's" stupidity. They will always see truckers as big, slow, unsafe, roadblocks.
