    Anyone got any advice on this one? Liquid resin. I don't think I've done any liquid loads yet.

    Easy on the corners when driving?

    I fed all the straps under the cage, so I'm strapping the product. Any better ideas? image.jpeg image.jpeg

    I'd put a bulkhead in front of it. As for how it's strapped I don't know cause I've never hauled them.

    I used to haul grease to Gillette WY and they would sometimes put a couple of them totes on. That's how I strapped them and I never had any trouble.

    Nope that looks good driver. Take it easy on the corners like you said and easy on the brake pedal(as usual). Smooth shifting to keep it from sloshing around too much. Get out and double check straps every couple hours and you'll be golden!

    Thanks all! It rides a little funky. It feels like the whole truck is a big water mattress.

    Yep. You can't see by the pics but where the 2 front pieces are pushed together there are some sharp edges. Even though the straps go straight over them, I put protectors on them in case the straps flap against them. Can't wait to get to drop them in friggen Manhattan.....o_O

    Isn't there a change to the law where you need a tanker endorsement to haul totes over 1000 gallons per container?
