Flat Stone/Rock load

[ATCO]

Just thought I'd share a photo of an interesting load... It's a load of flat stone that I assume is used to make houses or for other decorating purposes... I've seen them haul it like this several times out of Bakersfield. I've also seen Marble hauled in a similar fashion...

Joe,
there is a real good article in Land Line about this very subject. Charlie Parfrey here in Spokane conract hauls alot of this stuff and it is a very challenging product to haul, not to mention very dangerous if it is not loaded properly.
One of Charlies drivers was severely injured when one of these loads broke down and came down on him.

Take care Joe,
