dry van load securment

JUNIOR? ROFLMAO at you.
Slick, I think you better go back and look at my age and years! We are both the same age and you have 4 years driving on me! I'll pit myself against you on any course anywhere anytime (you pay the costs of getting me there!) you want to come up with and I haven't been behind the wheel since August! Like I said KMA! My experience against yours as far as I'm concerned is a moot point! It's a just a thing of mind over matter. I don't mind because you really don't matter!

The whole point of the post was a forklift in a reefer isn't going to get secured very well at all! No, the wheel had to be straight to get the locks under it to try to block it off not that it would have mattered as the wheel would have straightened up while sliding down the trailer if it didn't go through the side like I've seen before. So your tip is so much fairly useless crapola!

If it had been a dry van you would STILL keep the wheel straight to nail a board under it and then down both sides of the wheel. Plus it would have cost MORE to repair the side of the trailer when the 3 ton fork lift went through it! 6 hinges are a lot cheaper.

There is no nailing of dunnage to the floor in a reefer, no chain hooks in the floor, no wall mounts for square load locks which would have torn the walls out anyway, and I went the flattest route in Roswell Ga I could! Go look at a topo map or go there or even remember Harry's Farmers Market and the roads in the area! I did what my boss told me to do, and as long as I came out clean after the "inquirery" I really give a spit!

It's like hauling a row of lead ingots. Sure you can nail strips down along the floor of a dry van to keep then from sliding but trying to get a 2x4 to go in the air slots in the floor of a reefer is an impossibly! You just have to take it easy!

Or the many other stupid loads hauled over the years! We did what the boss told us to do till things took a turn towards the "better" in the mid to late 90's! You did it and so did most of the rest of us older guys and if you say you didn't then I'm glad that I have my boots handy so I don't step in the BS!

And FYI: My CB stays on with the squelch down in case someone tries to tell me a forklift fell out of my trailer (ROFL) or some other pertinent information and the AM is on the best traffic report in the area! Both are tools to be used not ignored as you apparently do!

And I just told you to KMA! Nothing about pulling over! Been years since I've pulled over. If they can't handle it tough! I'm to old to be mixing it up with morons!

FYI: Look at the section at the top right of a post to see the posters information before you embarrass yourself again!
