    I guess about the only thing I’d do different is a couple more straps over the top and place them over the upright wood. Other than that looks good to me.

    When he lists his last job on his applications he can put "Integrity Testing of Monocoque Structures."

    every once in a while during seed corn season/harvest, the individual doing the loading forgets himself, and you’re glad for every horse you have. ;)

    Looks like vinyl fencing products that they make in York NE. I don’t see the issue either. I’m pretty sure they nail those boards on top to tie the short units together. Maybe the poster thinks there needs to be straps over the third row too? I don’t know, I’m just as lost as everyone else.

    Well if I really had to nitpick... it does kinda bother me how that one strap is all crooked for no apparent reason, and maybe one or two straps could use a twist, but other than that, send it.

    Lol, about 1000lbs of securement for a 4500lb car, front was at least three " straps. Ohh and the rear strap wasn't even hooked . IMG_20250425_132106647.jpg

    It’s not my money, but either go pre 03 or post 17. Everything in between were problems. Especially 04-07. The new engines particularly Detroit are pretty much problem free. But the trucks seem to be cheap.

    Definitely not a Detroit. No one will even change an injector around here on one of them
