[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 5066214, member: 77939"] Ok. But.....you never even mentioned .......SAFETY! The whole idea of a load retainer is to.......RETAIN THE LOAD. As in....stuff not falling on your head, your feet. Any chance of keeping pkgs in the trailer is now gone. See? I know of a feeder driver that had 17 staples in his head after such. Chipped teeth......broken vertebra. No? Absolutely. Example: Most if not all irregs are placed at the very back of the trailer for obvious reasons. These can take all kinds of shapes and weights. Tubes full of heavy metal placed upright leaning against the door. This is stupid and dangerous with absolutely nothing to stop them from falling. STUPID. Legality is only 1/3 of the equation.....damages being the other part. And you are correct....I don't concern myself with load retainers anymore. My trailer that I took to my meet guy didn't have one and the one from Florida he brought me(100%) didn't have one either. [/QUOTE]
