One guy puts his appliances on top of his car and one guy puts his car on top of his appliances and we make fun of both of them.....I'm confused :confused2:

Considering your screen name - have you seen both types roll in?

Appliances should be INSIDE the car, not on top.

Saw a pickup pull out of Home Depot the other day with a pallet of something fairly light like bags of mulch. Pallet was stacked about twice as high as you'd normally see, extended about two feet over the cab roof. No tailgate, nary a rope or strap in sight.

I spent a summer working outside lawn and garden for Home Depot. The amount of vehiclular abuse we saw on a daily basis was insane. It was bad enough that we weren't allowed to secure loads for customers and we could refuse to load vehicles if we didn't feel comfortable with the situation. I regularly saw folks pull out of the lot with a full, stacked pallet of 60 bags of mulch in the back of a pickup truck without strapping it down, or unrestrained bales of pine straw/wheat straw stacked above the bed rails. Another frequent sight was mini vans so loaded with block that the suspension was completely compressed.

Found this video the other day.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire, somewhat.

Here is one for you guys. 12 round bales squeezed onto a trailer without one strap. It also looks like the truck is squatted down more than it should. I got stuck behind this guy for about a 1/4 mile as they were creeping along at about 15 mph.

All you need is one strap.

Except when two straps is not enough.

I think they may have been able to move more bales per hour using only one layer on the trailer, if the video was typical of their loading in that field.
