    I’m more interested in who’s tying them down or who’s hauling stuff they have no business hauling.

    Is Houston so blind? So... dimwitted? Lack of credibility with all those cameras around?

    I did not mind it once, twice for happenstance. Accidents happen. But 4, 5 or more times? Someone is #### well hauling the stuff that they have absolutely no business hauling. Or worse I must assume we are experiencing a form of attack through terror.

    Enough is quite enough with this BS coil dropping. I cannot believe with the resources of the powerful internet, all these drivers, LIMITED LOADING by only a FEW who handle those coils... and we are still screwing about with coils gone wild. Makes a mockery of everything.

    Mark my words people are going to get really badly hurt or dead. You do not want to be having a large coil a instrument of your last day on earth or worse.

    This is proof that standards need to rise...but too many co's have a requirement of...having a pulse and breathing to get hired on..

    Dang it, my next load delivers in Houston on Wednesday. If you see a story about a tanker smashed by a runaway spool near Lockwood Drive, I just want you all to know right now that I love you. Not as much as my wife and daughter, but still.

    I have to tell you...I totally misread the title of this post. I was like.."Uh oh...drivers dodging large stools...gross but funny." I'm thinking elephant poo an it's a spool!

    I feel tricked. :(

    ;)

    Depending on the side of Houston you're on, you may well drive around stool piles on the road.
