    Are those going to keep it on the deck if something happens? All those will do is keep it from rolling.

    Reporting in...

    Detached the neck from the rgn this afternoon and forgot to unplug my airlines on the rgn. Broke the quick connect fittings off in the trailer and now Im in Beaumont trying to find new ones.

    Fml.

    so, get sent to a jobsite to pick up "equipment" to bring it back to a yard.

    Get to the tight seriously tight jobsite

    and they want me to take back extra concrete manhole "barrel's. (the pre-cast things you make manholes out of.)

    Ok, ain't never done that before, but that's one way to learn

    it wasn't going far and i strapped each one with 2 straps on top of the dunnage, but i don't feel that is right.

    i feel that i should have cross the straps even though you aren't really supposed to cross straps

    So, i ask the hive mind..................

    I'm assuming they are on the trailer like eye to the sky coils? I'd secure em just like those then, and yes, that means crossed straps. (Or chains, whatever you are using).

    thanks, that's kinda what I decided

    What's with this training stuff?
    here's your training: go haul something you have never hauled before.

    have fun.
