    I had some 7ft tall, or there abouts, paper loads. One of which they loaded without me being able to look, and placed skid pads at the back, but the 30 ft between the front group and rear group was completely free to do anything it wanted. I even had straps back there for them to secure it and they didn't care.

    Ten cents to this one, ten cents to that one and 10 cents to so and so over yonder etc.

    What a load, they sure knew how to load it. I like to put em into a motor coach and trailer their forklift with me to all my shippers in the future. Put the scales out of business.

    Your boyfriend (@tucker) isn't happy that you finished so soon. Put the strap back on.
