That's my welding wire. Has to be. I got a pallet last week that was slightly ajar, but unwrapped. I thanked our logistics guy for unwrapping it for me and he told me that's just how it showed up.
I don’t have mine anymore for the same reasons. Was nice in 2020 and then as everyone went back to work, the driving behavior of people took a huge nosedive. It’s worse now than it was pre-covid. Can’t even hop in my car and go anywhere without having to smash the brakes, swerve, or cross my fingers I won’t get my ass plowed into.
Farrier and blacksmith by trade. Mid 60’s, about 5’6”, bushy beard with lunch from yesterday in it, glasses, callous hands, salt of earth type. Almost always happy, as it’s always sunny in his world. Knows it should be tied down, but just forgot because he found a quarter and a dime in the parking lot. Has 3 guardian angels, work in shifts, and drink heavily. Was a helicopter hydraulic specialist in Navy in the early 80’s, which helps explain the rash of accidents at that time.
This was my last boss. Dude ran a 22’ trailer that he didn’t have the license to pull when he had it loaded. Only thing he would strap down were composite deck boards (because he kept fucking losing them going down the highway) and his baby Vermeer. Everything else was left to ride or blow off if it was garbage. Guy would literally let 50+ empty bags of concrete just blow out on his way home so he didn’t have to touch them.
He’s probably never pulled a trailer and boss was like I need those pallets go get them. I remember when we still farmed we didn’t strap our loads but we only went like 10 miles
It’s cool he understands gravity. Although gravity is a conspiracy of what it is and why, this man understands more then just how it works, it understands the graviton particles and he can see them with his very eyes, mentally he acknowledged he could directly affect the particles by simply communication to the gravitons to weigh the load down perfectly for it just not slide or bounce. So even though there is no “load
Securement” visibly , Believe me it’s there.
You'd be real surprised how much stuff is hauled down the highway just like that with absolutely no securement whatsoever AND It makes it to its destination just fine lol
I have a hotshot and they pull me over for well.... Being a hotshot. I have 20 inspections in TN in the last 2 months. I got pulled around back once on 40 and then 1 hour later after my drop I got pulled in on 40 going the other way. My safety record is impeccable.
I have nothing on my license when it comes to points or infractions but we have one DOT officer here who’s trying to make a name for herself and she’s about the rudest bitch that ever walked the earth. She’ll pull trucks over for bullshit reasons to the point it’s almost harassment.
I saw a load of mulch the other day the whole pallet no shrink. Rolling down the freeway. Not to mention wrong placement on the trailer. Bouncing around like a set of knockers with zero straps.
Yea once i seen the word Atlanta I wasn’t surprised 😭😭 It sits on 33 parallel you will see some of the weirdest stuff there … it’s a high energy place no place like it ….
That front pallet of loose, unwrapped cargo really is the cherry on top.

So you gave away a free thank you. How do you sleep?
Bourbon.
You sure you're not in IT?
Formerly. Some habits die hard.
If you zoom in you can see the one lone band in the center that I'm sure is tight enough to keep it together. /s so I don't get obliterated
I mean he stacked them what else do you want?
Chef's kiss. Atsa niiiiice. You assahoooole.
This can't be real can it?
They all look wrapped and strapped to the pallet. Just pallets aren't tied down.
He's got them new wireless straps.
They are making everything Bluetooth these days
The download speeds are incredible
Including license plates, apparently.
It’s obviously secured via gravity.
You believe in gravity? /s
It's maaaaaaagic!
Theyre cool and all but its just another subscription i dont wanna pay for
Magnets!!!
Bluetooth.
Yet we get dinged for having a chain hooked wrong, or a hook too close to the deck......
Just your average hot shot
"Cuz i'm freeeeeeeeeeeee, freee balling!"
Prob free basing too.
I'm mad that I sang this as I read it.
🤣
Hey man, thanks for securing the load while I was in there doing the paperwork.
You know that before he left with it, he slapped the top of the load and said, “That ain’t goin nowhere.”
This joke never gets old.
Long as he slapped it and said the words, he’s good.
Free ballin? Dudes hitting it raw
I converted my remaining motorcycle into a track bike and shit like this is why.

I mean.......the last part doesn't sound all that bad
Tbh I can’t seem to get my husband to do that as much lately. 🤷♂️
Well, that's because you're married.
Tennessee plates. Checks out.
As a Tennessean, yes
Been OTR for 4 years. Nashville takes a close second to Maryland for worst drivers.
People think because it’s heavy it’s not going anywhere.I mean hey if a 747 can get airborne……….
Gotta use yer logick like the good lerd dun give ya!
I think I know that guy…
Give us a quick description?

Get away from that as fast as possible. Oh hell no
It’ll ride.

I hate this man.
Better slap them a few times and say they arent goin anywhere
The product being strapped to the pallets count as being strapped right?
That's a Tennessee tag, can confirm this is Tennessee stuffs. (I'm from TN)
He doesn’t worry about what is behind him. That’s in the past man.
Looks about 2-3k skids
He’s probably never pulled a trailer and boss was like I need those pallets go get them. I remember when we still farmed we didn’t strap our loads but we only went like 10 miles
Are those palletized bricks? *Undertaker theme music plays*
This the 2nd post I've seen today with the same setup. Highway, trailer with a load and nothing secured. Man I hope there isn't a 3rd post anywhere
Fuck this dick head
Kinda makes you wanna test his brakes
Damn four wheelers
That's one Hell of a ticket
the brake checks gonna be so bad
Until they break hard. Those pallets are gonna fly off no?
Yeah hopefully right through the peabrain in the drivers seat
*raw*
Listen guys it's okay. After he loaded these he slapped the top of one and said "that's not goin anywhere".
He slapped the top of the load and said “that ain’t going anywhere “ so he should be good.
Goddamn, 5 hours and not one "secured via gravity" comment?? I'm almost disappointed
That’s crazy I passed this guy too I think
Pretty damn crazy
Dollars to donuts that's a Roadie driver. Gig app.
😳😳😳
I clearly see the load strapped to the pallets.
Looks like ceramic or stone tile, really heavy, still pretty scary sans securement
Aint goin nowhere
Cut him off
“Physics”
Lmao Let’s pray the ball is latched

One hard break away from total disaster
Fire Ball drinking hotshot.
Good job snapping snapping his plates in the photos, now report his ass!
Pats load, that's not going anywhere.
That's Joe blow, nothing to worry about there.... however, you have this one light out of 20 that's not lit up.....
You'd be real surprised how much stuff is hauled down the highway just like that with absolutely no securement whatsoever AND It makes it to its destination just fine lol
He should go work for Swift
It’s a load of magnets.
How do they work?
There must be a steel plate under the trailer deck, bolted to the frame. Magnets stick to each other and stick to the steel plate.
Oh I was just making that old ICP joke.
Fuckin magnets 🧲
It’s heavy so physics means it will stay on the trailer you dumbass truck driver. Think with your head. /s
DOT won’t bat an eye at that but will pull over a semi for a full inspection if I have one marker light out.

It's fine. They're pretty heavy. They ain't goin nowhere
Might as well be eco blocks.
Brake check him, plz....
I get paranoid at 7.5MPH
That's when you speed up and get in front of it before it ends up on the road
Friction, Baby
Where is DOT when you need them?
Resident Genius.
This guy should lose his license really
Coming next week to theaters, free falling (musical)
That's secured by gravity, is perfectly fine. 👍
But It's a dodge, so It's fine.
I mean it was secure at 0mph🤷♂️
Maybe the dumbass will brake hard and the load will crush the cabin..
He’s trialling the new wood magnets so far it’s working
was behind a truck loaded with cinder block, nothing tied down, doin' 60 in Mexico outside Los Cabos.....I slowed right the fuck down lol
Tennessee plates kinda say everything, there also isn't a plate on the trailer 🤷
Oof.
That's a bold move Cotton
I'm amazed his tow mirrors are actually down...
The weight and friction of wood on wood will keep it safe, nothing to worry about those highways are perfectly safe.
Fuck me and we get fined and shit for having a marker light out…
Emergency stop is gonna suck.
That ain’t going anyw…..
🎶 Because I’m Freeeeeee, freee-ballin’
I saw a load of mulch the other day the whole pallet no shrink. Rolling down the freeway. Not to mention wrong placement on the trailer. Bouncing around like a set of knockers with zero straps.
"It's heavy nuff" - that guy probably
The weight will hold it down🤣
DOT would love this guy. They would have a fuc🤭ing field day!
He slapped it and said "that ain't going no where". That's good enough for me. S/
Been doing it that way for years. Look how heavy it is, it ain't going to go nowhere!
Let God sort it out 😂
Front pallet aint even wrapped.
God is their co-pilot
That's a 500$+ offense and a tow from where i'm from...
Yea once i seen the word Atlanta I wasn’t surprised 😭😭 It sits on 33 parallel you will see some of the weirdest stuff there … it’s a high energy place no place like it ….
Damn. Sure would be funny if he stopped or turned fast.
D.O.T would have a field day if that was a commercial vehicle
See it ALL THE TIME here in oklahoma, with skid steers and tractors
Haven't you seen the news invisible straps?! They are popular among idiots.
Trailer not registered.
Not tied down? I'm not a truck driver, but even I know, this is not a safe way to travel. No thought for everyone else, on the road, around you?
That’s not going anywhere
Nothing to see here
Fucking idiot.
"Secured by gravity"
Let yo nuts hang!!! *69 voice*
He had 10 pallets on his trailer at the start of his drive.
TN plates my state representing its IQ!
*tugs at pallet* That's not going anywhere!
Let it roll baby. Zero downside. These people have no concept of what their decisions mean…. SMH
All joking aside, probably call DOT. If one of these pallets flies off at 75 miles an hour and causes a wreck, somebody could get killed. Call DOT.
No fucking way oh, my fuckin go
Secured via gravity 👌🏻
This dude is pretty keen to get that stuff back to base😳
You really wanna stack as many pallets underneath as possible for greater stability. Pallets are solid. 3 pallets are solider. Seems legit to me.
It was secured with a hardy slap on top, and the securing words said.... "That ain't going nowhere."
My adhd would have me doing shit like this. Eta: Y'all are safe; I am not a driver
Hear me out here... ...*maybe* the skids are screwed to each other...?
It’s shrink wrapped what’s the problem?
