    My biggest problem is and always has been my mind goes a million miles a minute and I can't express it. Sometimes I think that's why I do good in this industry but why I sometimes can't get along with other people. This is a great post and I'm short on time (and a lousy typer) but I'll revisit.

    Wheres the no securement thread at?

    Driving through ok-51A behind a truck pulling 6 round bales of hay loaded shotgun. Trailer was setup like one long coil rack on wheels, no deck. Turns right and thats when I see not a single strap. Drove 10 miles behind him doing 65.

    The bales set down inside the frame rails. As long as he doesn't try to corner at 65 that hay isn't going anywhere.

    I'm loaded close to gross with liquid flammable. This guy in a hotshot at about 0:40 in the video passes me with two miles behind us, with poorly secured pipe, then proceeds to cut in front of me.

    No belly wraps to keep the pipes tight, even with different diameters of pipe.

    Hotshots seems to defy logic at times.

    I don't really think that's a hotshot' looks more like a contractor. They do stuff like that all the time.

    Mine too. Get a thought in mind, start typing, jumble up a bunch of subjects in 1 post and it makes no sense when I read it.

    Yes chewy, some times I DO question my sanity.
