OK no pics, but boy do I wish I could have. I was running a little behind this morning on my way to a Dr. appt. I had to stop at the post office, which normally, in our small town, takes about 30 seconds. There was nowhere to park and took almost 15 min before I got out of there, so I was rushed.
Just as I am approaching the freeway on ramp from hwy 58 to the 101, I see a tractor and about a 40ft duck tailed flatbed, then I see he has three HUGE boulders on the flat bed. One of them is easily as long at my GMC 2500 and about 5ft tall in the center. The other two are about half that size.
I also see he has a CHP walking around his trailer, and then I notice why. Mind you this was as I was slowing from 55 to about 40 for the on-ramp. The largest bolder is BEHIND the trailer axles, with a smaller one in the front and the larger one is sitting partly on top of another smaller one, that is touching the duck tail. Then I notice the front of the trailer is considerably higher than the rear, AND, are you ready for this? I didn't see a single tie down strap on ANY of the boulders.
The weight on that trailer was WAY too far back, and I bet if he unhooked that king pin, the duck tail would drop to the ground.
I would have loved to pulled over and watch that develop. All I can say is thank the Good Lord, the CHP had him pulled over. I had my phone on me but no time to stop.
