So many of these flatbedders are one hard brake from certain death..

I passed a guy today in Wyoming hauling rebar. Not only did he have no belly straps but every single strap that he had was so loose I could fit my entire arm under it between the strap and the rebar.

I got up beside him, honked the horn a few times and pointed back towards his load and he just flipped me off.

This guy has not a single thing holding down an entire load of rebar. He also had no headache rack.

Do these guys just get loaded and then never ever check their load? Never even walk around their truck once? I just don't understand it as a flat bedder myself
