    I was gonna say he might be over on his trailer axles the way he's got it loaded. Maybe not at 35k.. but still gonna ride like crap loaded way back like that... I guess he's trying to give himself an extra 10 ft of ramp up energy when the thing comes crashing through his cab in a hard brake

    Wheeled vehicles over 10k# are supposed to be secured using manufacturer provided frame tiedowns.

    I mean, he could have thrown a couple over the boom yet. That seems to be what most people do when using straps. Seriously, I hope it has a really good park brake.
