    The more that you can scrape off before cleaning will make less of a mess to clean up.

    Nah, I had a 30 minute crash course and would never think that is an acceptable tarp job. @JonJon78 is right, that's on the individual, Mercer should weed them out

    My question....is that a coil? Looking at it, the lower left edge protector of whatever it is, appears to be out of round, and the surface (or what we can see) almost looks like rubber. Also, the front of the 4x4 is off the deck, almost like theres no weight on it, but with those chains pulling it down i dont see how that can be. If that is a coil, he should be terminated immediately. IMO

    I agree...the tarp job sucks. But i REALLY want to know whats holding down those 4x4's

    That's a 44k single coil loaded shotgun... Same exact load I had. He used a smoke tarp to cover it with.

    I'd be more concerned about how the chains are attached to the stake pockets incorrectly. Always better to use two pipe spools, or J hooks if the trailer has them.

    If the guy is new to open deck, then this type of stuff is on the carrier, because it’s not like he lied about how much experience he had. Yes you’re smart enough to know better, but that picture shows not everyone is. How many times were you required to send in a picture of your load when you were new to open deck?

    They showed me once, had me demonstrate once, asked me if I had any questions, move to the next item. When I was done, if you have any questions, call and ask
