One little thing.
NOT A #### THING SECURING THEM TO THE DECKING. Bouncy bouncy they go laughing all the way.
Once the victims get the lawsuiting started with that as evidence, the company might as well sign lock stock and barrel all it's monies, cash, assets, and property plus lands and so on over to these poor people they hit.MartinFromBC, mjd4277, buddyd157 and 4 others Thank this. -
Awesome video thanks.
Why don’t they load those things laying down? Surely someone could figure out a way to load and unload themTrucking in Tennessee, Dave_in_AZ and Bud A. Thank this. -
They were probably just taking them a couple blocks from one yard to another. Just drive careful and you'll be fine.Dave_in_AZ Thanks this.

No need to lay them down if you secure them. Look at the truck to the right. He is carrying the same thing but they dont move. Enough chain and binders and they stay just fine where the factory loads them.MartinFromBC, okiedokie, Dave_in_AZ and 2 others Thank this.

Chinatown: As I understand things, DAC is owned now by "HireRight". I have a good record, but because of this, i've been unemployed 3.5 yrs. I got a copy of my "record" so-called, from them. They do not have a single company I worked for on it. I filed a formal complaint, nothing was changed. If you can lease on w/a good company as an O/O, that may be better. I know I have to tell every prospective employer about this because they seem to all go to this 'company' for the PSP. Because they own DAC, it is my opinion they change driver records so THEY decide who gets hired & who doesn't, and women are the first to get weeded out.
Chinatown: After women drivers, American men are weeded out next. Not that I endorse this trucking company, but Seward Motor Freight pays no att'n to PSP, which SHOULD be done by ANY company. You have to check them out yourself. Good luck to you.☺Last edited by a moderator: Oct 21, 2018

I haul large coil similar to this on a regular basis. This driver was obviously trying to "save time" by not securing his load. Probably only transporting a few city blocks. But what a dick. He/she is not only looking at insecure load charges, but 100% responsible for all damages, and endangering pubic safety. Drivers like this, give the rest of us a very bad name. I hope they make an example of him/her in court.
MartinFromBC, Xeno124 and Bud A. Thank this.
