    @D.Tibbitt I might have seen a few dozen of those loads


    My immediate thoghts unless that is a 96wide trailer the overhang needs to be fixed.

    They are on occasion loaded rough but apparently they just hate western express cause that is fugly.

    Also watch those sitting in racks. Sometimes only gravity is holding them in so they can bounce out. Always get a strap on the actual unit if you can.

    Big thing with your saftey checks is check for broken dunnage.

    Ive broke alot of that crappy wood before. Had to shore one up with mats and my own dunnage one time less it fall off the drivers side.

    Otay Mesa. Lift gates in general are crappy loads.
    If you think this is ugly, wait for a mixed load with rails and tucks and flips. That’s ugly.

    The only thing you can do is try to tie down best you can. Put as much edge protection as you can. For the most part the actual gates will ride good.
