    Not sure why the load it like that. What you don't see is the tarps I had just removed. I think it is something this particular customer request, as my buddy told me he hauls them to other places with no tarps or cardboard.

    A lot of places want that carboard between them and between them and the deck. I think you are right, it's to keep them from getting scratched up.

    I get nervous when I see cardboard underneath anything. This is VERY dangerous for example with plastic 55 gallon drums on pallets. They want to slide all over the place, and if it's a liftgate delivery there's the almost certain possibility of the freight landing on the ground upside down.

    Ask me how I know. o_O :oops:

    Have you seen how slinkies are secured? We don't rely on friction to keep them in place, you actually have straps pulling forward and backward, different but similar to how standard coils are secured. Plus a lot (some? at least the places I've been to) want the front and rear slinky in a coil rack, the ones between go on the deck on the cardboard. They can't slide any more than they can roll, unless straps start breaking.

    Don't those 55 gallon drums get strapped down properly on the pallets? I've seen them shipped with cardboard between them and the pallet, and never had problems, but it was on a flatbed and aside from being secured to the pallet they were strapped down to the deck.
