    I meant the one on the right and you are correct. It amazes me how often I see straps on metal and stone with no protection.

    Past the 4 min mark.
    Policemen says 9 straps on the load.....but needs 31.
    Again,driver did not use anti friction mats.

    This was a "normal" traffic stop.

    I think I win the contest on this thread. I was behind this guy today...he had to be at least 15 wide..... if it would’ve been loaded right it couldn’t been wider than 3ft. Piece measures 15x3x3. Why it was loaded like that I don’t know!

    The rear steer probably failed and took the back of the trailer with it into the shoulder.

    The rear drawbar came unhooked after hitting a bad spot in the road. No injuries other then pride according to their Instagram.

    I mean I know it was mechanical failure, and these guys usually have their #### together, but I just had to...
