Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

The loose end bundled with duct tape doesn't bother me much, but I would like to see some abrasion guards where the straps go over the concrete corners.

Agreed but I can't tell from the picture if it has any or not, i use to have some straps that had abrasion sleeves that were the same color so it might have them.

Straps don't last long on concrete corners!

Much to my horror, my BIL moved a large over width shed on skids a mile to his house by just pulling it down a populated road. He's that kind of a guy and RIP. Nobody bothered him and everybody waved.

That's funny.

Thanks. I was driving, didn't think about taping the loose ends which it probably was. I didn't see anything on the concrete edges which would wear the straps out quickly especially with vibration.

And the problem was.... you were embarrassed? I do not see a problem with this at all - totally safe and legal - assuming he had an SMV emblem on the back.

Perhaps because it was on skids being drug on the highway?
Kind of like that old comedy routine:
"No Mr. Foxworthy, it's not illegal to tow a boat behind your pickup in Georgia, but we do require that you have it on a trailer. And no, I don't need a beer, and neither do your friends in the boat."

A dually at that but hey, he has a spare wheel on top of the pile. Do the lugnuts still look attached to it?

That is what I was thinking, i.e. the hub was still attached to the wheel. But since the right side is tandem - what happened to the other wheel?

The problem was that it was the size of a small garage, we were in a somewhat residential rural area and he was leaving marks in the center of the road at a very slow speed. I mean, I would do it too but you're supposed to have some degree of remorse so people don't blame you for the damage.

A neighbor farmer accidental dropped--lowered-- his very heavy chisel plows on the blacktop road a few years ago. It patched up OK and the damaged part seemed to melt back together. Didn't seem to bother anyone.

You don’t see a problem with dragging a shed down the road?
