Wow, i was parked beside this load all day Saturday, guess I better look for pictures questioning my load too? Were you one of the scores of people driving slowly around every oversize load inspecting the securement? If so, how about next time getting out of your jeep and coming over directly to the driver and asking this question right to them? I know its much safer to hide behind a keyboard, but most of us don't bite in real life. Heck, you might even have learned something. I know I personally talked with this driver on Saturday night. Learned hes been with this company for 29 years. Didn't strike me as someone who got to that milestone with pure dumb luck. But who knows, maybe he did? I do know this, next time i see the Auxilliary DOT rolling through the Petro, i may just get out and ask to see your Creeper Cop Certification.

Wow,that's a neat looking cab-over. You were parked by the dump truck all day long? Did you help him re-chain it or did you not notice it,too? By the way,where were you at? Maybe you were not with this driver,but another one?

Nope, never inspected his load for him. He rolled in after lunch to the Petro in Indiana. Where did you "catch" him?

Very well said sir-hat's off to ya!
It's ashame nowadays- hard to find somebody that IS minding their own business.I find also that load securement/MY load securement is a personal thing.I dont know when that started(being personal) seems like back in the 80's n 90's it wasnt a problem.
Guess back then,you got help-advice-general #### chat-talking about securement/the load----------
Now-you have that eerie feeling of being watched-yup-theres some nitwit taking pictures,video of what your doing.
Never used to be that way.

That's not always a wise idea.
Load security is a personal thing.
I know some guys that don't like the way I prefer to do things.
I know lots of guys that I don't like the way they prefer to do things.
It's each and every one of our own business. We each make choices, and one day those choices we make may very well come loose and kill us. It is our responsibility, and I won't tell a man he's done it wrong, unless it's blaintantly obvious and he's going to hurt someone.
How do I know that he hasn't seen something different one day and his way would prevent that different?
On what grounds do I have to question that?

Anything that happens on the public highway system is not personal,,,,just sayin

Is that what you professional heavy haulers tell the DOT inspectors?" It's a personal thing and you have no business looking or commenting on my securement"

I don't think that's what was being implied. There's different ways to secure something and be completely within the regs.

Then there's those that don't have enough securement and don't either know any better or just flat out don't care.

So,to sum up what I've learned in this thread. There are few rules for load securement,just do what you want.Never ask,look at or comment about load securement because it makes drivers mad.Always ask about load securement or it makes drivers mad.( Seems like conflicting info,but it's on here).Never post other than crystal clear pictures.
