    I used 3/8 Manila rope. Sack sugar, Pozzolan, fertilizer, sand, baled cardboard and newspaper and even a load of wax coated walnut tree root balls!!

    Realistically, thats not unreasonable, straps on rear and front can make center of pallet bundle move, never had an issue with any other movement on shingles

    I'm not quite sure that that's necessarily true. I did a bit of a blow up, and though like most all these low res pics, nothing can be construed as accurately as first hand viewing, but I noticed something weird about the rub rail, that I've lined and circled in the pic cutout screen capture I did, that looks like it was chained to the rub rails and the rub rails appear to be sliced upward, where possibly there were hooks or chains grabbing it.

    I mean,it's hard to even see if it is a rub rail, it almost looks like a girder on edge...::shrug::

    That looks like a European tractor trailer So the trailers may be different. But obviously, they have some drivers there just like some of ours.

    The problem with that package is it's seemingly ALLOWED in every Country other than U.S.A. and CANADA.
    Such "combo" would not be done it such were not allowed in Mexico and south of.
    Africa and India have some incredibly DEADLY combinations as well OVERLOADED VEHICLES just on FLAT LANDS, not including their creepy and spooky mountain roads.
     
    CAXPT and cke Thank this.
