The back story (I think) makes this qualify for this thread ;)

You'll have to explain. Other than no fenders and facing the wrong way I don't see why what's wrong.

That one has me stumped also.
I bought the trailer and truck to haul logs to the mill, but with log prices down I haven't hauled anything that's made money. In this case the car broke down so I retrieved it and fixed it, which cost money :( So, it's not so much hauling something wrong as hauling the wrong something ;)

Also looks almost like the rear chain is hooked from the DRings to the rear of the trailer and not connected to the car, hope no panic braking was needed.

Changed chains, clevis locations, chain binder locations repeatedly for nearly an hour before getting the rear tied down in a manner I felt comfortable with to head home I started out real slow, stopped twice to check rigging in the first five miles. I've had never hauled a car on a flat bed before.

It was the Friday afternoon rush hour along hilly curving rural blacktop. I'm sure a lot of commuters were upset about the truck doing 40~45 mph they couldn't get past. I pulled off a few times to let them pass, but I'm sure it wasn't often enough for them..
