ALL BOXED IN: With cargo securement on everyone's mind these days, Big Horn Transport has found a creative way to ensure its drivers are in compliance. This b-train consists of two standard flatdecks which have been modified to help make sure the cargo stays where it belongs. Big Horn controlling officer, Philip Blasetti, says the company has modified several of its flatdecks by adding walls consisting of steel stanchions and 3/4-inch plywood. He says it only adds about 500 lbs to each of the trailers. The center section can be easily removed allowing the load to be added or removed by forklift. Blasetti says the load must still be secured as though it were on a traditional flatdeck, but the walls provide some extra peace of mind that the cargo isn't going to get away. "It's not like it's out of sight, out of mind," Blasetti insists.
