    I have an admiration for people who induct themselves into the hall of shame. I have a few of my own loads that should be in here lol

    I made it to ellijay via 52 without issue but i had that thing strapped like a corset on a fat chick and still wasnt confident. Even with brick screens ontop you can only snug the stuff so tight.

    Theyd probably be able to move more loads per day for less money if their pallets would actually fit in a van side by side.

    I’d expect that on a spring ride truck, but you’d think that might be somewhat less of a concern on air ride equipment.

    I probably would’ve if I’d had a camera for those awful loads of drilling equipment, and those giant augers that would never stay tight.

    It’s fine. There’s always one on loads like that. Put second strap on.

    Air ride ain't all that great for shifty loads. Ever run slinkies? Gotta stop sometimes six blasted times in the first 100 miles to get those buggers tight. Super sacks? Prayer is your only hope. And yeah, mulch. Screw mulch!
