One of my 1st days as a manager when I was in Raleigh. I helped a driver load up a 20ft piece of 8in steel pipe to run it out for a deliver. He hopped in the truck and started to take off and I stopped him and asked him if he wasn't going to strap it down. He had poles in to hold it against the side rails and was confident it wasn't going anywhere, I was new so I didn't question it. Less than 5 minutes later I am driving a forklift down Yonkers Rd to go pick up the pipe and put it back on his truck.I left a job one late afternoon when I was still working for an employer with a trailer hauling a big 4x9 ft. pallet that the package unit I Installed came on back to the shop. The route was hwy 29 south Concord, 601 hwy just a little past afternoon rush hour traffic and discovered the pallet was missing. That was a long scary drive back tracking to where it flew off the trailer. I am convinced I have guardian angels watching over me 24/7. Every load I haul that day never fails to make me strap everything down to the point the vehicle could rollover and it still stays put
