Best load securement ever

You don't do it like that then old man? Thats a great technique. Self tightening.

 

That's pretty common around here especially with the rental companies.

 

In my home state of Florida no less. This was a county truck hauling this thing. He was yacking to his phone on his ear as I drove by. I cant help but wonder what some people think when it comes to this stuff.

A lot of the older timers always say stuff like this "Back in my day I'd have 30k on the bed and not one strap.". And they're bragging about it?!?! I tell them all " Ever think you'rethe reason the laws are more stringent now?"

 

Unfortunately, it's not only rental places and DIYers doing stupid stuff. Several years ago, the city I live in bounced a fairly new bobcat off of the trailer onto the road. No chains, no straps and no ramps to stop it + rough railroad crossings and bad driving skills = 1 jacked up bobcat. Luckily nobody got hurt, but there were two new openings in public works shortly after that. 1 guy who lost his job was only a couple years from retirement. "I guess I just got lazy" was his response.

 

He had a small chain with a loose snap binder across the blade,.. that was it.

Is that the only thing securing it?
