    I don’t see any securement either, so he may be sitting and shipper??? I don’t see the end of the load either to know if a red flag was on there or not. If it’s going GA-Illinois, all that’s required is a flashing amber light for Georgia and escorts for Tennessee and Kentucky(any overhang over 10ft). Illinois, he MAY need a permit, idk.

    IDK but something is off with that picture.
    Doesn't look like that is sitting on the trailer, it's sitting back a ways and creating an illusion. Not sure tho.

    you can see the front end is obscuring the back left corner of the truck. But I agree, it still seems off. And it’s weird that it didn't take any of the arch out of the trailer.
     
    CAXPT Thanks this.

    That is a lot of overhang,plus, I don’t see any securement either,unless the trailer was just loaded.

    A bucket has fallen from the back of a truck as it was heading south from Mackay.
    The incident happened on the Ring Road roundabout near City Gates just after 10am.
