I am 53 doing flatbedding is okay... don't need a weight loss program!!! Very dangerous as well! One thing I don't hear enough of driving the load. You cannot smash the brakes on all 18 wheels and expect your load to stay behind you. ( It can pass right through your cab! ) Load of plastic pipes is very slippery even when properly secured, I could here the trucks behind me WTF is that skate board going so slow around that corner?? I also been on roads that the trailer will bounce---- gotta slow down or start breaking chains. DRIVE THE LOAD!
