Flatbed Question

Night before last about 2am I was eastbound on I-10 outside Phoenix, a flatbed passed me carrying concrete Jersey barriers. Had 2 rows of three. I didn't see any straps so I called on the cb telling him he forgot to strap his load. He had no radio. A few miles up I hit a construction zone, left lane's closed and there he is behind 3 other flatbeds with Jersey barriers. Only one had straps. Is this customary for flatbeds not to strap them for short trips or something or was 3/4s of those I saw just lazy? Seems dangerous to me.

*westbound, not eastbound.

That is curious Mikey. I saw a container recently that was loaded on a flatbed with no apparent securement devices. I can't imagine taking that kind of risk. It makes me wonder if they have it secured in some way that isn't obvious. I looked twice at the shipping container I saw and even looked in the bottom corners where they pin them to a chassis, but saw nothing.

Old School, when I was running cans to TraPac in Oakland, I used black zip ties, which were hard to see. I did use white ones, when I could find the heavier-duty ones, and those you could see pretty easily.
