My wife and I are recently retired and I’m trying to convince her to come on the road with me as a second career. I admire your relationship with Tonya, having a pal with you over all those miles is worth a lot. For now, I’ve convinced her to at least watch your channel with me. It’s a start.👍

      Those paper rolls don’t need to be secured. If it was a huge issue the shipper would make sure two load locks or straps were in the trailer before loading. I did GA pacific dedicated with swift before I came to Crete. Loads are always heavy and don’t need to be secured. The only way to tip or flip them is careless driving and driver error. Never have I ever put a strap or bar with those paper rolls.
