When the light finally turned green and I passed by them there was no sign of rope or strap. No wonder they lost the load. Go figure.
I was only moving a few miles and had a load in my Ranger when a bear ran across the road in front of me. I cut the wheel, locked the brakes and skidded sideways so that my lights were shining into the woods, trying to view him again. When I looked in my side mirror I saw my kitchen table setting on all 4 legs on the center line where it landed after rolling over the side of the bed.

I was following a truck towing a trailer with low sides. He had a stack of plywood in it and not tied down. Probably thought the low sides would keep it in. About the time he hit 40 the top sheet of plywood lifted up in the air about 10 feet like it was being picked up by a tornado, spun around a few times and landed back on the road. It missed everyone. He kept going so I'm sure he didn't notice until he got home and wondered why his count was off.

Had that happen in front of me once on the interstate. Not fun

Saw a load of sheetrock gypsum, tied down over the front board. The top sheet broke under the strap and was blown over, and the rest followed before the guys noticed. It was a mess.

Broken or just stupid? Hard to say. But both broken seems unlikely. View attachment 800432
A former neighbor gradually moved from Rhode Island to Maine years ago, using an unsprung car carrier without brakes behind a 3/4 ton van. One trip he made with a bailer loaded sideways, sticking way out on the ditch side. I don't know how he never got caught.

Yeah we brought home a heavy Welger baler like that. My S70 busted its alternator so we took dads Mondeo. We didnt go past 70kmh because the off center of gravity made it ride unstable in crosswinds. Anyways it was loaded in reverse so the pickup stuck out into the road side and it was dark so nobody bothered us, trucks past by but we were baling the next day...
