<p>[QUOTE=&quot;heavyhaulerss, post: 2656016, member: 36697&quot;]It has been a while, but one night 1 a.m. traveling south thru the twisting construction lanes in the southern end of ky. on 65. I thought I saw something in the road a 1/2 mile ahead of me. slowed from the limit to 20 m.p.h. came upon a single coil in the middle of the right lane. a j.b. hunt truck was 1/4 mile from the coil. he was in his truck with dome light on, doing paperwork on the steering wheel. I got on the c.b. not sure if he heard me, but I gave him a earful. told him to get out there &amp; put some reflectors out in the road way ahead of the coil. there was not any traffic to speak of, but because it was dark &amp; just past a twist &amp; turn curve, I thought this was going to be so easy for someone to hit. I never knew what happened, I always hoped no one had a head on with that big coil.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I remember seeing, no skid marks, no chains broke, nothing on the trailer, as far as broke securement to indicate being chained down. maybe the driver put them away. or maybe the coil&nbsp; had only 1 or 2 chains on it. while in ATHENS AL at Coil plus a falcon driver took darn his side kit. I looked &amp; saw 4 straps 2 over the top of the coil &amp; 2 thru the middle, loaded suicide. I asked, did you not have any chains on the coil? where did you get the coil from? he said he brought it from chicago area &amp; his dispatcher said too many coils had too much chain damage &amp; not to damage any more coils, so he thought that meant DO NOT use chains on coils.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
