Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

So, I don't know what they were hauling wrong, but they must have been towing something heavy. And this was found on a chevy 1/2 ton, small v8, no trailer brakes, with a burnt and slipping clutch.

I bet they were trying to pull some thing that was stuck very bad or a tree. They had to be jerking on it to bend it like that.

You can't have anything loose in the back of your p/u here, never mind in a trailer. Fines, Fines, Fines! You can however, have a Cummins Block sitting loose under your vinyl tonneau cover though.

I wonder how you would haul a load of gravel

Under your vinyl tonneau cover of course, that way the fines don't fly out and break the windshield of the car behind you

Covered.

Here in Virginia, any quarry product has to be covered. Forest or farm products, no. So I can haul a load of wood chips or a load of manure with no cover, but gravel or sand must be covered.


Oddly enough, when I haul horse manure for the garden, I don't seem to have a problem with tailgaters. Not sure why that is....



It's really not a big deal for a pickup bed or trailer.

we haul thousands of bales a year with this set up. Only strap if we are crossing state highways. There is a stop on the back you set the bales against, and we have never had a problem just take your time.

Yes sir that will do it. I have had three or four old ones that look just like that.

Where i come from, Gravel is not a quarry product, but crushed stone is.

Specially when it is fresh

This was in front of me today. I don't know how well this picture shows the issue; the come along was secured off of the hitch, at an angle, so that every time there was a bump big enough to bounce the truck on the trailer, the truck hopped a little bit more to the right.... No wheel straps, chains; just nothing but a come along attached to the rear. And there was nothing from keeping that truck from hopping off that trailer.
