Do you mean going black? That's how I love them, indigestion otherwise, also the blacker they are the more alcohol is produced;) Can you imagine a...
Still, as long as he has a hard hat, suitably strapped under his chin, he should be ok. :cool: This is a very scary thread for the rest of us...
Personally I would make a crossover of those straps, forward one goes rearwards and the other end forwards, also make very sure the tension is...
It was a long time ago for me, my late brother and I in our small haulage business moved over to straps and ratchets in the 1970s, the proof of...
I wonder what he expected before straps were invented, double dollied ropes no doubt. :eek: Apologies for this Anglo response, feel free to ask...
How about fitting a blind on the windscreen which goes up and down with the body? :cool: Perhaps with a little 'safety' hole in it just enough to...
It'll be fine, he has a mate who sits in the cabin with his foot on the brake. Think if it was me though I would prefer to be facing the other...
Back in the dim and distant past when many/most flatbeds had no twistlocks I'd carry containers now and again with 2 chains each, both through the...
Sounds a bit like Liverpool Docks in the bad old days when ships still went there. Even now, 60 years on, if I hear a Scouse (Liverpool) accent I...
No idea mate, I'm long out of it now, just get my info from places like this these days, But I seem to remember that many years ago (2003) when I...
While we are talking about big companies and changes, slight thread drift I know but, for all I know still the biggest UK equivalent of this site...
I know nothing of US law, but from a personal point of view, if @Razororange is correct and the strap goes though a hole (but I would prefer to...
Ah yes, I forgot to enlarge, I now see one chain behind the front wheel of the machine, but is the job finished anyway? There seems to be a loose...
Chains, at the front at the very least. Anybody worried about scratching, it will be very scratched when it hits the tarmac.
From memory I think that all the motorway bridges in UK had to be marked for less than 16 feet, but almost everywhere else most were marked...
I don't see any height notice on the bridge, is that normal in the States? No excuse I know, but surely a good and relatively cheap help with...
Yes, I agree, if, as others have said, my first ideas wouldn't work. ;-)
So what should he have done, or in other words what would I have done? First stop and take a walk. See how much room there is within a reasonable...
Yes, I used to drive for Buntine Roadways in Katherine, but that was back in the '60s and I don't remember any laws at all in The Territory in...
I can see why you need that enormous spread, with weight like that aboard. ;)
