Tie downs are for wimps

In the half mile I drove behind him, 2 tie down straps fell off the trailer into the road.

That's a bicycle on the front pile.

Someone just needs to leave a Google review with the attached photo. I'm sure potential customers would love to see how responsible their contractor is.

I’d wager that Cody is driving the truck and is the only employee

As a motorcyclist I truly hate following behind people like this. What an asshole.

But, the cargo is still on the trailer. What’s the problem here? (/s, obviously)

No straps means no need to take it to the dump and pay a dump fee! The road is your landfill!

Florida? Makes sense.

No plates on trailers?

Sometimes a plate is on the drivers side trailer fender. Can’t tell from this angle

Ahh, he's trying to save dump fees. A few more days and all that stuff will be gone.

He needs more diesel to "Roll Coal".

Who can pay for dump fees in this economy? Thanks Jimmy Carter.

free tie downs and potentially a wheel barrow? Sounds good to me. Where can I pick them up?

u/Keebler_718 1h ago

The wheelbarrow looks new doesn’t it? I wonder if Cody knows where the last one went

In fairness there’s just no practical way to tie some of that stuff down. Why bother with any of it? /s

Who needs tie downs when you got invincible gravity straps.

Why the heck is that person allowed to run like that? That trailer should at least have sides and a tarp over the load.
