    No but they think they do. The person that dreams u their securement methods should read the FMCSA rulebook. In fact, maybe I will print a few pages so the next time I get a nice picture on how to secure, I will give them my own piece of paper.

    Only if he or she doesn't get caught behind any groups of company trucks racing each other at 62mph or less.

    80, not 70. 70 is the tourist road. You do know the difference between a tourist and a trucker, don't you?

    So if you're in Hays and you need to go to Denver, you have to head up to Elm Creek to avoid being a tourist? Is 76 okay, or are you going to have to go into Wyoming, and then south?

    Who knows .... On my 2014 Fontaine it actually has a weight rating on it for spools, rails, chain pops and all that stuff. I think they are rated at 5,400# on mine. I'll take a look

    According to the 2013 Edition of "Dispatching Dummies", published by JJ Keller, Section II, par.1, under the subtopic of , "How to Sell a Driver on a BS Load", it states "the difference between a trucker and a tourist is that a tourist pays to travel while a trucker gets paid to travel."

    Denver is definitely a tourist area.
