Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

[Fuddy1952]

Whenever I tow something and strap down whatever I'm carrying, I drive a mile or so, pull over and recheck everything. I'm always amazed how straps and chains loosen in that short distance.

DOT regs state you should check tie downs within the first 10 miles. Then every 100 miles. Can’t sight the law number for some of you, but it was in my CDL study manual.

Just posting because I want to bait the tie down police...

full disclosure, I was sitting still when I took the picture and I was only going a half mile on the hwy and I was following the wife with the loader, if they didn't fall off in the field they definitely weren't falling off on the road..

He couldn't stack the chairs? Take off those 'shelves' real quick, stack the chairs, and this prolly could have been avoided.
