    I used to haul Rhino's in my 53' van. They were a huge pain delivering to mom and pop dealers, or get this, dealers that wouldn't let trucks in their driveway.

    Ive been seeing those loads for awhile. How hard are they to haul? Accustomed to dropping in tight spaces...

    Easy to haul, only downside is you can't tighten the straps because the crates will crush/break. I found that one out the hard way. It's takes some getting used to seeing your straps flapping in the mirrors.

    No, it was a load before. The one on the front in the pic just has the wrapping coming off the top. It happens to them every time.

    Put a twist on your straps on each side and you wont see them flapping anymore on a load like this.

    Looks like he's got the twists on most of them. These idiots use the thinnest wood for the crates that they can get away with. You'd think they'd realize at some point that getting their product delivered undamaged is a bit more important than saving $5 on wood. Then again, it may be an insurance scam and they hope it'll fall off the truck.
