Load of Wood Almost Falls off Trailer (Got Wood?)

Including, but not limited to, morning wood.

[@trickstothetrades1801]

It was nice to see a knowledgeable helpful driver working with you, good job Levi. And of course as always Alex is one of the best

Alex: rotator driver, rigger, cameraman, and mountain climber. I'm glad y'all treat stuff with such care because a lot of shops would just rush and leave dents, scratches, and crush marks. Professionalism A+.

[@billbennett5875]

I worked for a rigging company for many years. The first week on the job, I was yelled at by the old timers about jumping off the flat beds to the ground, telling me that my knee joints would be toast after a few years if I kept doing that. I learned from them and I see you doing the same thing. Work smarter, not harder. Enjoy your videos.

[@walkingwithdogs8547]

Obviously you didn't learn how to jump properly, and have more chance damaging your joints from running and cycling.😊

[@billbennett5875]

@@walkingwithdogs8547 Not so, carrying rigging gear and belts makes a big difference, as he does.

[@walkingwithdogs8547]

@billbennett5875 nothing to heavy then, lost count of the jumps we did out a plain with 120kg plus a bit a different times with a GS strapped to you and between your legs, 60 years of age and all the other punishment your joints took and I'm good apart from a shoulder that broke twice being silly with the grandchildren.😅

Jumping while hard on the knees, but more importantly, it's too easy to land wrong and cause permanent damage that no amount of rest or surgeries will ever fix.

@@walkingwithdogs8547Running downhill is probably the worst biomechanical action you can ever do apart from jumping down 5 ft. Neither are good.

[@JimPermann]

The driver isn’t wearing flip flops….that is a first! Great video as always and #1 recovery channel.

[@bobh6728]

If he was wearing flip flops, he would keep going until they fell off completely.

[@kmg501]

It's amazing how many drivers don't even know that it is a federal requirement to wear boots or at least work shoes.

[@bobh6728]

@kmg501 Because there is no federal requirement for them to know. FMSCA has no rule about foot ware for truck drivers. OSHA has only a reference that employers must ensure employees (not owner operators) have protection against foot injuries due to falling objects. Some companies have policies about footwear, but that is not law. If there is a federal requirement, can you tell me what law it is?

[@TruckerJmitch]

@@bobh6728😂😂😂

[@BenKlassen1]

If you wear flip flops as a flatbed driver, you will get kicked out of a lot of shippers and receivers. They don't mess around with that.

[@simonwhyld3003]

This appears to be a multi drop load, in these circumstances I would recommend running the straps under that pack and securing it over the top on the same side, if necessary run more straps over the whole pack. It will never shift

If the warehouse had just done it right the first time, it wouldn't have shifted. They're lucky it didn't fly off on the highway because improper rigging is a public menace to life and property. Safety negligence should come with fines like $100k to make sure it doesn't happen by properly trained people verifying critical items.

[@colinl9018]

In Australia the LOADER and Driver are held equally responsible if a load shifts dangerously or indeed comes off the trailer and injurs/kills a bystander or damages property.

[@simonwhyld3003]

@@colinl9018 I find this interesting, I'm not doughting you, my first thought is that this can only work if the loader accompanies the load; obviously not viable. On the other hand, in the cases of sealed freight where the driver has neither any control or knowledge of the contents of his or her load, should the driver be 50% liable?

[@jun1977i]

who ever stack that load was drunk at work. lol

[@pear7777]

Only drunk??🤣🤣

[@stellarproductions8888]

Look at the load, ohhhhhhh shift! No worries, you got the Alex on the job, this situation is about to get righted real fast. Nice use of the small straps, they had plenty working load limit for that, made the job go easy.

Once again Pepe's Towing, Alex and Big Flipper show the way. Not the same as a container rollover but needed a rotator or a crane or a forklift. A diversion from container rollovers.

Watching those cars go by I'm guessing the biggest hazard you face daily is the motoring public? It's not hard to see why so many tow operators get killed each year. Stay safe out there guys.

[@kelleyunofficial3269]

Alex makes the job look like he has been doing this for many years. A pleasure to watch. I guess straps are used to avoid damaging the wood. They could make some blocks to protect the edges if chains were used. Thanks for posting, always look forward to watching.

[@desertrat8322]

Awesome video Alex!!!

[@amosbackstrom5366]

I like how you always use a shackle on the straps. At first, I wondered why not just run the strap straight through the hooks? But it makes sense. Those hooks experience high-pressure metal on metal contact, which creates a burr. Making sure your soft staps only touches smooth metal that never touches any other metal will allow those straps to last a very long time.

The reason why it slid is because all the lumber on that truck is coated in a waxy material. Super slippery and hard to transport. Slippery on top of slippery. No good.

Straps and corner irons, I drove a lumber truck for 27 years. No gut wraps on that lumber load, that's why it came apart. Every 5 foot put a strap. Units at the rear should have been butted up against each other. As soon as he starts driving the load will shift inward and he will have to stop and tighten down again. Great job as always Alex.

[@fyfo1432]

is there a reason to use chackle instead o putting cables directly on hooks

[@JonathanSias]

I believe the shackles he uses have a distinct wide radius in the belly where the straps go that keeps the integrity of the weave and protects the straps and prevents acute wear, especially in the loops. You could place the recovery hook directly in the loops, but the radius is much tighter and would wear out the synthetic weave much faster.
