    Stopped and checked it. Actually looking pretty good other than one sheet edge where it looks like my bungee hook took a small chunk out.

    Reminds me of loads of foam. Those S-hooks can eat soft stuff up.

    You didn't hear any popping noises when you were tightening down the straps did you? The edges of drywall are quite fragile, it's some odd profile that makes it thinner so they can apply joint compound. It's just a PITA all around. Heavy, can't get wet, can't cinch down straps very much without some stiff edge protection without damage.

    Good Luck. :)

    No I was pretty gentle with the straps.

    Get to the receiver after confirming twice I had an appointment to unload at 5:00 pm, and they tell me they won’t unload until 5:00 am. I drove THROUGH my home town to get here so they could unload this #### today, and I’m told I have to sit 12 hours because some pencil neck won’t get off his ### to run a forklift to unload me. I know how the van guys feel now. Thought about leaving the trailer, and coming back in the morning, but my luck the crap will get stolen.

    I'm sure that crap will slide right off if you turn sharp fast enough.

    The manager of the store overrode the receiver because this load was already two weeks behind being delivered. They unloaded, signed papers, and I’m gone. I’m afraid I used all my luck for the year on this

    And I drove through two rain storms
