    Thats because they probably haul steel regularly and know that's a legal and safe way. 5 would probably be legal but is pushing it at the scale.

    Death trap waiting to happen. Just needs an emergency stop and those tubes are going straight through whatever bulkhead/rack is in front of them. Scary.

    "Oh, you just throw a strap over it and it's done. What's so complicated?"

    :rolleyes:

    I couldn't begin to count how many arguments I've got into with people who saw nothing at all wrong with a picture like that.

    Always something stupid going on in that area. If you pay attention there are many semi circular divots in the pavement especially at the on ramps.
