The Truckers’ Report flatbed Hall of Shame.

If he had the brains to know his equipment hed have split load that pile like crane mats and never got famous.

 

The more I look at that.

The more i want to bean the hauler with my winch bar.

Anyone should be able to look at those and KNOW they need to be spread out on the deck.

 

It would be fine if the trailer wasn't junk.

 

Quite possibly.

I'd still rather have it spread out. But that's just me.

 

Something doesnt seem right about this one.

 

Somehow he thought 8'+8' < 14'9"

Math must not be his strong suit

 

Not blaming this fella. Just feeling his pain. This stuff rides nice........... until it don’t.

 

Came across this guy in Bennet CO the other day...

 

It's hard to tell make and model, but if I'm thinking right, that might be one of those high-roof cargo vans, and on a high-boy that would be pushing height restrictions.

Checked Google, and the Mercedes Sprinter (what it looks like to me) can be anywhere from 96.3" to 115.4" tall, so yeah, he could have been well over 15 feet tall (on a steel highboy at 4' off the ground, the Super High Roof Sprinter would be 13.62' so over most state's 13.5 foot max).

 

At least a couple years ago I picked up a double-stacked load (smaller coils) of those things in Carman, MB heading back to Oak Bluff, MB to the yard once, 40 miles away, and had to stop 3 times to tighten the 22-or-so straps I had on the load. They should move in a can or a van, and that's it.
