    "For 50 years!"

    I won't be back but I carefully ran this crap on a open deck! Once.

    24k of steel in cardboard boxes.

    Tightwad idiots. If I was a dictator I would arrive at this place and have the owner removed.

    One bad accident and shrapnel and dead bodies everywhere!

    No offence- truckers need to say no, from the start. Not just "I'll run it this time but never again". Pull it off the deck and find someone dumber than me to haul it.

    Holy cow that's an ugly load.

    Can you provide the company name? I thought it was bad that some drivers no consideration for other people. But this is ugly. Also appears as if the company is going to blame the driver if something happens.

    I agree, that's not a flat bed load, and if an O/O accepts it as a FB load, then it is on them.

    Yes...a high day rate....403 miles round trip....only like 173 loaded..better me than some I suppose.

    I ran it very very carefully...as if I were oversize.

    Is it legal? Heavy duty cardboard on a pallet with 1 steel band around them..

    In Alberta they would have a field day with that, probably even in a dry van they wouldn’t like it.
    One quick stop and some of that would puncture a dry van fairly easily.

    Maybe so nobody goes there in the first place and wastes deadhead miles?
