    Looks good to me.

    On a vaguely related note, there's a story going around our area of a distillers driver locking up brakes hard not to run a red light. The consistency was a little runny that day and he sent about 10 tons up and over the front of the trailer. Poor guy got a ticket for an unsecured load. Responding officer said that next time he should just lay on the horn and blow the light, it would be cheaper. That's how the story goes anyway

    @Patrickbrick i have set one down hard enough to run it out the nose but I only lost about 600 pounds. I did mine out in the middle of nowhere though. Some putz with non functioning trailer lights decided he was turning about a quarter mile back and I didn't know until about 75 yards from his turn. I just pulled over and scraped my mess off into the ditch like roadkill

    What about my 'emotional-support' bear?  Can he come?

    The instantaneous realization that he made a terrible mistake. You can see his whole body crumple into itself

    Ok I think I have this figured out. When his trailer is empty he has his straps attached on both sides instead of taking them off and coiling them up. When he hauls loose crap he just attaches them like normal to also avoid coiling them up. And you wouldn't want to pile the dirt and gravel on top of the straps, so we have the results pictured here. Vaild theory @Captain_Call?

    I can't invalidate it. I've never done commercial flatbed so I'm not sure what little tricks those guys use

    Looks like the straps hold the wood in place next to the ... piles

I'd guess they are attached to the bed.
