    Like anything else...Where it's possible....

    Just like Cali...According to DOT/CalTrans..."All Loads Are Divisible"....
    Really?.....So how is a Nacelle that is 14' tall....50' Long and 20' wide "Divisible"?

    Also take a good look at a powder tanker and see if you can find rub rails. Lifes too short to be this serious.

    ....or a DD...or an oversized load. He clearly has no idea. Someone with 2 years experience chastising someone with 33 years experience. Sometimes it's better not to say anything.

    I like to just launch my strap and listen for the "#### that hurts". Kidding I usually just walk over and check or look under nieth for feet
