I think you flatbedders should....

It's ok, us flatbedders are a grumpy crowd. Just dont tell us how to do our jobs lol

 

I'm glad someone who doesn't pull a deck is giving me advice on how best to secure my loads.

I work as a trainer for my company and know Section 393 Subpart I like the back of my hand... on top of additional company policy.

I don't make comments about vans or reefers because I don't pull them. I don't have experience with them, so I don't feel like it's my place to say anything about them (aside from possibly giving my opinion about my desire, or lack thereof, to pull them). You don't go into someone else's house and tell them what temperature to set the furnace/AC to, or how to arrange their furniture do you?

 

I once had to avoid the (large) debris from a couple k rails that fell off someone's deck and made driving in any lane except the right disasterous, right before going up a mountain.

So, flares would be nice, but i would prefer that they just secure their #### load correctly so they don't have to use flares, and for them to have the decency to give an anonymous tip to the DOT that there is dangerous debris on the highway.
