SECURE YOUR LOAD!

I was turning in to NationsRent this morning and the guy in the Ford Ranger in front of me made a quick stop at the intersection thus causing the unsecured 200 pound powered drain snake in the back his truck to flipover and land halfway through his back glass!

What was probably some homeowners attempt to save on plumbing costs just turned into a $300 waste of money. Twenty bucks would have gotten hm a tie down strap, heck at Harbor Freight it might have gotten him four!

People do the stupidest things. It takes less then a couple of minutes to secure your load. We have a new law up here in Washington State about unsecured loads; there are some pretty hefty fines, especially if someone gets hurt.

Now try explaining that on to the wife about the window, let alone your insurance company. Which they will say “idiot”, you will have to pay for that out of you’re own pocket.
