    Before I got smart, I would see a steel container sitting on a flatbed and not secured to anything, not realizing that the container has hooks on the corners that lock it down to the trailer but are hard to see. :eek:

    Thanks! Don't think I will. Quit an 8 year stint with R&L to finish off my last 15 years or so and I like it very much.

    A couple yrs ago I had a friend riding with me after he got his permit so I could train him enough to go get his cdl. We were in San Antonio and I pointed to a couple empty sandboxes on a step deck and told him to check that out, the guy didn't have them strapped down at all (knowing full well they had the locks on the bottom). I got him to look up the name on the door, find a phone # and call to report the driver. He felt dumb for a minute after they told him about the locks, then looks over at me and I just start laughing.

    He didn't find it as amusing as I did :D

    Make sure the CB is on so you can troll them with stupid comments like "They'll be alright, I just drive careful."

    These posts are SO mean. You will hurt people's feelings and self esteem.

    They’ll be fine, but if I ever see you with a tonka toy on the back with only one strap securing it - I’m calling the US Marshals. :)
