The Truckers’ Report flatbed Hall of Shame.

On the way home today, i have winner of winners. And i almost turned around in car and went back and got a pic and I should have. So you'll have to go with description.

Take many many pallets of bottled water.

just like that.
Put on step deck.
No shrink wrap, no V boards, no nothing
put one strap over each set of pallets so it's secure
Drive down 65mph highway with stoplights

See two guys standing outside truck on side of road scratching their behind saying "wow, HTF did that happen?"

yeah, bottles and bottles and bottles all down the road.

 

I went to pick up a load with my step one day in denver, and they thought they were going to stack me up with a full load of 5 gallon buckets full of something, they were't even on pallets. lol

 

Just tarp it driver, it'll fly.

 

Sounds like something you’d hear out of Menards in Wisconsin.

 

GAF likes to throw 5 gallon buckets on deck as well . on a pallet but maybe 1 layer of shrink wrap . atleast they are seperated maybe 3 buckets lengthwise , so u can put one them long vboards on it , tends to stay put , but still to sketchy for my taste

 

That flying part is why I told them to get a van. lol

 

Look its a sailboat.

 

A hotshot passed me today eastbound on I-10 approaching Lafayette today. He had a load of about 20' long rebar laying on the deck. Not on dunnage, just laying on the deck.

It was secured with one chain.

No binder.

Just one chain laying across the rebar. At least he had the good sense to pile most of the chain on top of the rebar. But perhaps it was at another level of stupid. Maybe he just didn't want the hooks catching on anything. The hooks were just laying on the deck.

I would have like to get pictures, but game day traffic was a ##### and that hotshot must have had a date with his television.

 

Call the police. They need to be stopped.
