I saw this on FB. It at least deserves a worthy mention here. View attachment 673121 View attachment 673122

"When you're divorcing but don't want your ex wife to take all of your toys. You load them up and run as fast as you can."

Driving along on a county highway yesterday I came upon a truck pulling a deckover trailer with a T650 sized skidsteer on it and not a strap in sight. Fortunately for me I was just approaching a big curve that he had made it through. Glad we didn't meet on the curve.

If he entered a steep driveway the front tractor would hit the top of the cab.

It must be a flat land state. It wouldn’t take much for the mower to hit the cab.

Why?

He had it loaded safe enough to make it through the curve.

Safe transport of a load also has a LOT to do with knowing how to DRIVE.

I do not care how good of a driver a person is, a incorrectly secured load is a hazard. Seems to me the whole purpose of securing a load is to handle the unexpected. There’s lots and lots of unexpected circumstances out there

There are circumstances that don't require a load to be "secured" to the point that it can shaken upside down without coming loose.

How do you protect from an airplane falling out of the sky on the tow vehicle?

A good driver takes speed, weather, road conditions, traffic, & MANY other things into consideration when transporting anything.

Uh, . . NO! I don't care if you are the goodest, safest, smartest, biggest, baddest, or slowest driver in the world, if you drive with a completely unsecured load, you deserve to be fined and not AFTER the accident.
Pithes me off seeing "contractors" running around with skidders on the snow covered trailer and not a chain in site. Last year one of these "professionals" had 2 of them slide off.
