    My former boss would ask me if I think I could still get it to the drop off and maybe run the rest of the week.

    Is that even a steel coil? There way it's flexing I'm wondering if it's something different.

    It appears in the eye of the coil that the plastic wrap is on the bottom of it that's why I think it came off of those skids that look to be on the trailer. Doesn't seem that any securement went through the eye
