    I don't leave the country, so that won't be an issue. I'd tell them the same thing, though. If they want to see it, they are more than welcome to untarp the load to inspect it...provided they return the load to it's current state when they're done. I won't prevent them from doing their job...but I sure as hell don't work for free. In the absence of some cold hard cash making its way into my pocket, I'm not touching that tarp until I get to the receiver.

    You guys run the VHF radios up there? I have both a VHF and CB in my truck. That is why you guys don't hear me when I have the mic in my hand... LOL

    Yeah, just straps over the top of the pyramid.

    This phone likes to take dark images sometimes.

    Just this month I was picking up a coil and there were 5 trucks out front all secured the same way, same chain placement. 45k coil with 6 5/16 chains.

    I suppose six is better than four. o_O
