That's why DOT issues oversized permits and dictates the route.

Funny, I never heard of that incident. Should have had Bruce Willis jump on and cover the air intake with a jacket.

You have to wonder though, WTF was he thinking? He wasn't trying to do any damage, he even had the flashers on. Maybe just wanted a nice warm jail cell for the winter, or ?

Some think, if you can't be famous, be infamous.

We caught this after Thanksgiving in Kansas City on 435 East. I made sure I passed with room to spare, it was sketch even in my book.

They probably are OK even with the top one leaning. The lateral strap (front to back) is cinched down into the bale, so it isn't going anywhere unless something breaks.

I would still put a second strap over the top and straight down to each side of the wheel well to pull the bale back up a little bit.

Look close in the second pic. He has a second strap. It is yellow and blends into the bale pretty good.

Yeah, but at least use a full 2” web strap (I know they look like they were but they were on the light side) It did have the side to side strap but again they were a bit on the small side. I’m sure they were within weight limits on the strap and trailer but it really leaned to the side on the interchanges in the triangle from I-49 to 435. At least they were decent bales net wrapped. But the loader did a poor job of placement.
