    Had this load on and he wanted to know why was loaded off center. Duh!!!
    That's 40k in the middle with a cover over some pipes on the side.
    He finally figured it out and let me go.

    Do you use duct tape on the excess strap to keep it rolled up?
    What's with the dunnage and chain in front of it? Different way of making a bulkhead?

    Don't see any flags on the overhang. Did you have banners or corner flags on?

    Gorilla tape, better than duct tape.
    Piece is setting on friction mat but no good way to get a chain down low pulling to the rear, so a block in front to maybe keep it from going forward in a panic stop.

    Why wouldn't you load the overhang on the ditch side?

    Buy cheap zip ties from harbor freight. They take less time and don't make straps sticky from glue residue.

    Looks like he did. There's a trip chain in front of the piece and if you look at the shadow you can see the rear deck is back there.

    Gorilla tape don't leave
    Stickey, got lots of harbor freight zip ties, such good quality they don't always zip.

    It was flagged and signed legal, OHP approved and offset to the ditch side, no corner flag on a stick on the right rear so I could get thru the turnpike gate.
