    Looks like someone got lazy with their securement.

    If it’s slick pine and someone brake checks you, it’s coming forward if you hit them hard. Gotta have jacked up on front and rear but still.

    gotta drive like you got a load of eggs and don’t slam on brakes, just hit em.

    they’ll drive off and you’ll be ticketed as such here

    If you can't secure it, don't haul it. I pull a skateboard now, sometimes I get containers to haul, which I can do. But I tell the broker I'm going to open it and inspect the load secuement, if they say no it don't go. Same with loads out of the northwest If I don't believe that is secure I don't take the load, No load worth dying or killing over

    There doesn't appear to be ANY form of load securement.

    This drivers' guardian angels put in a heckuva shift today.
