    It may not even be a sign like I originally thought. So I don’t know. It just irks me when people make comments like where made. Especially from non drivers. None of us know exactly what happened and this guy is having a #### day.

    They were some type of big fans at least that’s what I saw when I drove by…

    That's where dude went wrong, tall light load with 65 mph gusts he should have been parked until the wind died down.

    Like I said, I don’t know what happened. It could have cut the straps. I suspect that’s the case. But It’s just speculation.

    From what I can see, part of the load fell off. That means he didn't secure it properly. No excuses.

    His securement looks good to me. Seems people need to be taking notes instead of comparing job titles.

    Whether it's your first load, tenth load, or ten thousandth load, they should all be secured with the same care.

    Seem to me people need to reserve their judgment until they know what they are talking about.

    How do you know he wasn’t on the side of the road redoing his securement and a gust of wind caught it. Looks like he was parked when it blew over. Otherwise if he was doing 70 mph on I-80 it would’ve been tore all to hell and sitting about 3 miles from where he got parked.

    His picture is already worth a thousand words.

    Is there something about his securement you disagree with?
