The Truckers’ Report flatbed Hall of Shame.

Local guy here had to dynamite his brakes yesterday. The end result wasn’t good. The company uses shotty equipment but a bad day for him

 

Yeah 10-4 out of oroville somewhere south of chico

 

You get some slick Popular logs on a load and you can't put enough securement on them to positively hold them. Especially in the hot summer, Popular logs bark will get loose, and the sap between the bark and the logs is as slick as grease. Logs in the middle can still move, no matter how much securement you have on. Best thing to do is have them against a headboard so they can't gain any momentum when the try to move.

 

No excusing the securement, but I hate the way they have that stoplight timed.

 

At least he has some chains! I’m surprised he isn’t throwing straps over them.

 

don't know how to post pics but look at this gem. I'm thinking they only measured 1 part of the bridge not the whole thing. If that's the case I'd be firing the pilot/pole car. And go by my favorite rule if you want it done right do it yourself
