    The spiritual man. Throwing securement at a load doesn’t mean it’s secure, does it?

    I'd throw a wrap on the top bundle over the gap on the bottom bundles. I don't like metal bundles on top without a wrap. And yeah, straps go as near the dunnage as possible. Have to maximize static friction.

    Those beams coming off the truck wouldn’t have done that kind of damage. What the heck did he hit?

    He didn't hit anything. Passed me like I was going backwards and took a corner way to fast. That load didn't have a single tight chain or strap on it, everything was wiggling around.

    And this is why there are so many threads on structural steel. You have to have vertical blocking between them to keep them from vibrating sideways. Yet so many guys will haul it with none. Then i get to the mill and have to make them remove it from my trailer And fibs another load because i refuse to haul it the way they say everyone else does.

    Could have used some blocking for sure. Also need a driver to drive the load. Not play go carts with his buddy
