Safe Or Not?

I saw this in front of me on the road today. I'd never seen a flatbed load like this leaning in this way before.

Or maybe I have and I failed to notice it bc it was not directly in front of me.

So would you recommend keeping some extra distance between you and this load. Or is it not a problem. Thoughts?

I’ve seen a few “leaning loads”, but probably nothing that bad. I definitely think it’s not supposed to be like that. I wonder if the driver could even see traffic from his driver side mirrors? It looks like the load would be blocking his view. I would also think that if a trooper saw that, the driver would be getting stopped.

Ouch, yeah that is a mess looking for a place to happen. You can see the broken banding in the middle of the back. Straps are strong, but that would scare to crap outta me.

Stay far far away

Years ago I saw a flatbed with their load leaning like that in Amarillo. I hung way back as he got off the highway and headed towards a truck stop. As he tried to make the turn, he rolled over in the middle of the intersection.

My thought was, if this driver continues to pass up exits, I'd call it in. Seems an accident just waiting to happen and who knows just how bad it might be if it decides to let go, or the hold-up of traffic to get it cleaned up would entail.
