That’s just it, I coulda hauled the load had they loaded it the way I wanted it loaded.
They would only load it pinwheeled from the nose back.
42-44k lbs in 26 pallets.
With my setup I would have been 40k on the drives if I did that. Now I wanted 2 singles straight in the nose and load the rest all sideways but oh hale no!
It was literally load it their one way or nothing.

Anything is possible. I've seen some really shady chit that people called a properly secured load rolling down the highway that I couldn't get away from fast enough for my liking.
We moved a 16,000 pound Yale Forklift on one of flatbeds once and the guys couldn't figure out why the machine kept hitting the headache rack on the truck. I walked over to look at how they had it chained down and they had hooked all of the chains on the rub rails of the bed. So I redid all of the chains hooking the chains to the bed cross members and used a four foot chunk of pipe to tighten the boomers and it never moved after that.

I got stopped when I first started driving at a CA scale for an inspection and they commented about how I had actually tied the trucks on right (4 corners, crossed and tight). When I looked confused, she said that about half the stuff they look at wouldn't hold something on the deck with a good side wind, let alone an actual accident. Kind of scared me and I started watching the other guys a little closer.

First he couldn’t see mine if it was me because hand tarping is for suckers and Canadians like Allan. Second I throw my straps through the eye and for safety I use an old blanket to keep the straps from being cut like this professional.
Chains are too heavy and get my hands dirty.

Yes, unfortunately in my line of work I get to drive all makes and models. Got one of your precious VNL’s in the shop right now. What you find is the guys that do their own engine work don’t buy VNL’s or Prostars. They buy trucks you can see the engine when you open the hood and ones that don’t rust.

That’s different. I like it though. Is that a door to ease clean out or what?

Yes for cleanout or anything you may need to get in the trailer for. They are very nice to have! The old dump I used to pull part time didn't have a door and also no inside steps. Luckily I'm tall and could get myself back out although, I always thought a door would be much easier!
