    At loves on 77 exit 5 for a 10 and as I am walking in i see this. I tell the driver it’s comical using those straps he tells me he has never had one break yet. IMG_2702.jpeg IMG_2701.jpeg IMG_2703.jpeg

    Key word is "yet." At least the 300 lb straps look new. The 5400 pound strap is worn out and has a nice cut through a third of it. Thankfully he knew to strap the fuel tank, since that is the strongest part of the truck. Glad I don't drive through Charlotte any more.

    I worked for Lazer Spot, and I can confirm this statement is correct.

    The truck squatting was the first thing I noticed as I walked up then I looked at the straps and they look like the same type I use to hold the golf cart on the trailer with. Driver was happy with his securement didn’t bother him one bit to tow it down the road. All I can say is I am glad I am done for the day.

    Hot shotters are a different breed. Definitely mentally challenged, actually calling them mentally challenged is an insult to truly mentally challenged people that work hard and do the best they can.
