Default BE CAREFUL with CONTAINERS!!

yes,, i picked up one in the BNSF rail yard in chicago and i found several safety defects. FIRST OF ALL!! the container was not latched to the chasis!! i had to go and do this. 2nd the fifth wheel on my truck was slid too far forward, i had to do this, lastly, the tandems werent locked completely. HAULING CONTAINERS SAFELY: ALWAYS make sure your 5th wheel is slid far enough back so the truck can turn, Always ALWAYS make sure the container is fastened to the chasis, IF NOT, it will come off and can KILL SOMEBODY!! REMEMBER, TOP HEAVY!! even when empty as the axles are not as wide as a standard box..
