    Did I say I was an expert? No. And yes I've hauled more pipe then him but I still don't think I'm no geniius. Also wouldnt post pictures saying since some one works for 'this company' and they made a mistake the training must suck.

    I've had at least two loads of pipe shift on me (although not to that extent) and I am not shy about throwing straps and or chains on-whatever the case may be.

    The DRIVER made a mistake (yes..we ALL do) but luckily no one got injured except for maybe his pride and perhaps his license took a hit. I would be willing to bet he will not make THAT MISTAKE again.

    OpenRoadDreamer Is a driver for prime in the flatbed division. If you look at his picture you can actually see that. My guess is that he was referring to something along the lines of a company wide message stating to remember belly straps Because of this incident. I would also guess that Prime has their own ways of handling incidences of this type which is what he was referring to when he said he will pay. Like at my company I would be paying out of pocket for the wrecker to come fix my load....

    most likely a load out of Monroe, i've seen alot of guys leave there without belly wraps, you have to just nod your head and pray they don't kill someone.

    American trucker posts about his mistakes. The biggest one he ever did was going to work for CT.
