I meant Lawrence Kansas above, not Kentucky. I'm not used to being in th see areas as they normally keep me up North East, but they have been getting a lot of snow I hear.

Know what you are carrying; how it’s loaded and where the weight is concentrated

I always read the bills to see what I'm carrying, but when I pickup preloaded trailers I'm unsure how it is loaded. So I always try to be careful. Any tips?

You were observant and cautious. You also learned some things.

That's for sure, I only waited around 7 hours past my 10 hour break before I got permission. But like I mentioned above, I would rather wait to be sure it's safe to operate then be like "I'm sure it'll be fine".

It was a learning experience I'm glad I had, a bit odd to say. But now I'll know a little bit more for any future problems.

If you get that load agian, I bet you'll throw strap across as close to the load as you can. Good job.

That's for sure, it seemed so normal at first. But it was a learning experience.

Over all I'm glad it was nothing serious. It was an interesting process from the first moment I noticed it. I'm surprised I tried everything I did to ensure there might be a problem before contacting them, but it just came to me.
