    NOT A PITA, Just Another Aspect Of Pulling A Skateboard. Tarping Is Usually Done With Tarp Weights Of 125 Pounds and UP!!
    I Preferred Securing Coils In Suicide (Eyes Facing Trailer Sides), Plus Being Able To Use MORE CHAINS and Securing/Strapping Tarps Was Then The Bestest Part.

    A PROPERLY SECURED COIL (or Coils) Will Stay ON The Trailer When Trailer Inverted.
    CHAINS & CHEERS!!

    Shotgun coils require securement over the top, suicide does not.

    49 CFR § 393.120 - What are the rules for securing metal coils?

    Maybe the driver admitted how it was secured on the trailer or maybe the shipper had cameras everywhere.
