    That was the video that sparked my inquiry lol.

    Classic bike culture is big in my area. Our monthly meetings are usually 30+ active members. I think we're around 2,500 Canada wide.

    They had a load of beer on it looked like. Cases were stacked up on a flatbed when I passed WB. The guy nearly Bo 'n Luke Duked it straight into the Blackfoot river!

    That's a nice looking load ,probably not very heavy. Just keep the tarp tight and with the side boards they usually ride good. I imagine flat was requested for easier unloading. Hauling to a resale nursery is nice, hauling to a jobsite not so much . Usually going to a place never intended for trucks.

    Heavy enough to make it ride good. We mostly go to nursery yards but get the occasional jobsite delivery as well. I understand why they wanted it on the flatbed. It's going to a customer I haul to alot.

    I’m not casting stones. But how in the living #%}} are you supposed to legally secure that crap? I’ll just add it to the list of other things that just can’t be properly secured. Along with bricks. “here let me put one wrap of plastic wrap around that for ya…. That auta ride the next 1000 miles no problem. We do it all the time”

    Actually a nice pretty load though. I’m sure the tarp will do a great job keeping it in the deck in all reality. But just ain’t legal as far as I can tell?

    Saw @Tug Toy east bound and down with a low profile load of cattle fuel today, lol, good thing the wind was only blowing 20mph. I'm working on that I-70 construction just east of Salina and was yakking on the phone or I would've hollered.
