    They look like a small grouping of steel coil, possibly banded powder coated coil.

    I always hate to see a big truck go down that way, it's a mess. Trailer is a total loss. Tractor might still be fixed.

    Dang it man. Just no way to secure load to the floor. To prevent load from shifting in transit.

    I used three inch nails driven into the aluminum decking a time or two in reefer work. The minor damage incurred by a load of brass coil that needs to be kept at 60 for the Lonoke Ammunition Plant at Remington in Arkansas is a small price to pay for a few holes in the floor at Buffalo. Blocked in same at the corners with large wood stacked at a angle to each other against shifting forwards, sideways and backways.

    But nothing prevents same from going through the roof of a trailer. That is where you, the Professional Driver comes in.
