    You aint kidding
    I got that pic and another after it was tied on and left// first time we loaded that product. I was not very impressed with the way it was packaged or loaded, but was not aware of any of that until it was shipped, and moreso when it got back to the yard.
    You know when you load a different product that is a total #### show, and when it gets all tied on left the shipper and the guy in the office calls n says “oh the salesman said it needs to show up tarped”

    I had a load a few months ago that looked kinda like that one.. 50 mile run. The shipper NEVER required tarps so I was intrigued to see what this thing looked like when I added $100 to my already ridiculous rate I quoted when they said it requires tarps. Arrived to find previous driver declined to load it. The reason they required tarps was because it looked like this and thought tarps would at least contain it a little. They were surprised when I threw 20 something straps first.

    If it's a good grade of pine they might finger-joint it and cut it into moulding.

    I’d start by actually tightening the straps. Tight straps don’t float above the load.
