    I believe that camper must be the legendary Sasquatch brand. Everyone knows pictures of Sasquatch are always blurry.

    I'd give it about 10 miles before that beam would vibrate its way right out of there.

    Maybe but i wouldn't be the the truck in front of it. I would simply refuse to pull crap equipment or unsafe secured loads. If i get fired so be it, would have another job lined by 9 am the next business day.

    That is precisely what always scared me whenever I had to haul steel.

    I hail steel often enough. But it gets loaded my way and secured my way or it doesn't get moved. I've had more than one structural steel removed from my trailer cause they thought those beams in the middle that could shift sideways was just fine.
     
    Highway Sailor, Lepton1 and MACK E-6 Thank this.

    This is a guy who lives in my home town of Sidney ohio, he's a retired factory worker, but now each quarter he gathers as much steel as he can to go the the scrap yard for income. He also gets a ticket each time.

    If it is less than 2000 pounds the scrap yard will consider it a donation.

    Since he doesn't have a trailer he takes in several loads throughout the final well in the quarter, his kid told me he averages about 1500lbs per run like this and knocks out 6 runs in that one week.
