    pcscrapper: Hope you don't take anyone advising you as talking down to you. We all haul.. in various ways.. Most scrappers biggest pet peeve is when we see someone potentially hauling unsafely. I haul cars on my trailer and I saw a dude recently put a car on his trailer and the only thing holding it to the trailer-- was (1) 2-ton come-along. I didn't think he was done, but I could see him going down the road and that was all that stood between him, and that car flying off and killing a whole family. If I could have run as fast as he was driving I most certainly would have said "Dude, I'll loan you my straps- tie that thing down right!" Bear is a smart dude.. he's just trying to save you a potential headache and more by sticking an ounce of prevention in there.. We all want each other to be safe out there.. No one wants to come to the SMF and see a post from anyone entitled "Back from Jail.. My load broke loose and I was arrested.. my rig impounded.. I've got a long road ahead of court and lawsuits"


    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
