    Strap loose in the back.


    Huh? I just checked them before i left 20 minutes ago. It's dark and I can't see, better pull over and check it out.

    Everything is fine... They weren't talking to me. I'll have to start asking for specifics. :|

    I passed a Landstar driver that had all his straps tight. About 30 miles later I had to stop and check my load. I passed the same Landstar driver a few minutes later. His load was one big piece of oversized equipment. This time the back 4 straps were loose. I told about them and he said he would get to it some time.

    He only had 7 holding that big piece down. He also had a headlight and a few marker light not working. Oh, well.

    i always keep my cb on.

    what pisses me off is no one says a darn thing.

    specially when i've got them small pissy loads that won't take a tight fitting 8 foot drop 28 feet long tarp. and my flaps or what not are just a sailing away.

    Can you blame some drivers for not saying anything though? Especially when you get some drivers *caught* TMC *caught* that tell you to mind your own business? Its to the point I'll say something and if they tell me to mind my own business I just say to myself when the loads in the ditch or on the highway all I'm gonna say is I told you so.

    I can't imagine not having the CB on. It's quiet most of the time but it will pay for itself when you need it, or when you wouldn't think you need it, you do.
