    Or at least they’ll have a project when you said “over my dead body”

    When you go somewhere for 5 years and give the same simple advice on how to do a job easier/faster/with less damage- and EVERY time they do it the hard way....

    Why do I bother lol

    Would the corners of your trailer contact those two front pallets when you turn?

    I was thinking more along the lines of turning the ones on the drop longways so they would be easier to load /unload and strap?

    So much room left, but how much more space would they take up if turned 90? Would they fit as many?

    I wish I had a picture of my last load, but I just ran it on through. It was a random assortment of farm items. Pipes, rubber mats, carpets, troughs, grates, milking gates, etc. They just kept coming out and adding more and more on top, I didn't think they'd ever finish. Terrible to strap. It stayed, but I wasn't happy.

    I have loads like that a lot. Stuff so ugly I wish I had a curtain-side so I could hide the hideous mess and not want to have a bag over my head.

    The ####ter was full at Old Faithful, so I hauled a new one in. Seriously, it’s a concrete restroom that I delivered to the famous geyser at Yellowstone. Two other trucks made the same trip. I had another strap over the top of the section in the middle, and a strap around the front of the front piece to keep it from moving forward. Pulled them off while waiting at the gate for the workers to escort me through the park when I realized I needed to get a picture of the load. Can see my strap winder hanging on the front of the trailer. Also various pictures of the trip. Notice the demise of my bug deflector. The head wind was so strong that it broke both sides off before I was done.

    Quake Lake. Zoom in to the left to see big horn sheep on the road. I was going slow, and the only vehicle on that road.

    Some small geysers by the Old Faithful Inn. Didn’t get to see the big one.
