    Yeah, I think I would have tossed a cain across the front/back rails on the bottom to keep it from flippping up and coming forward when I hit the brakes

    Exactly. And finally having something I haven't had to tarp!!

    It is, but the plate attached to the base is very heavy to keep the weight at a lower center of gravity. Shipper said most guys throw one strap through the center. I said nope, its getting at least two. I ended up doing 3.

    Thanks for the advice, I ended up adding a 4th strap through the center. And a strap around the front. Customer said I can't use chains because it would scratch the paint. I offered to use edge protection (ripped tarps) but they said no. So its strapped lol

    It is small enough I could fit it in the sleeper! Lol

    Honestly I wouldn't mind getting on a dedicated run hauling only lumber and plywood from gp. That would be awesome.
