- Accidents can occur in the loading and unloading process during pipe loads for flatbed trucking operations. As the title states, Shift Happens! But it really doesn't have to. There are precautions you can take to avoid it happening to you. Situational Awareness, proper securement and communication all reduce risk and keep truckers, loaders and others safe.
Trucker Drivers are always included in any list of most dangerous jobs. A large part of that is related to the dangers and hazards associated with driving. However, an often overlooked area of risk is the exposures that occur while the truck is stopped, this includes getting in/out of the cab and loading/unloading operations such as securement. These exposures can be drastically reduced and even eliminated with some precautions. Flatbed operations and especially piple loads present some critical dangers that we explore in this video. Situational Awareness is a key factor to ensure that drivers are safe and loading and unloading is successful. Accidents can occur but that can also be avoided.

As a pipe loader, this video is phenomenal, very good points and covered every crucial fundamental for drivers, also very informative and reaffirming for loaders like myself. Appreciate you making solid content for our little world 🙏🏽
Don't forget to double check the tightness of the straps after traveling a distance, Pipe can settle and the straps could loosen up, I hauled a lot of pipe in my trucking days and pipe was a load you had to take special care of,
strap every level of pipe at least 3 straps per level more the higher you go up . always use wood chocks prefer the pipe to be strapped not loose but its usually loose . I often over strap guys in warehouse tell me i'm crazy it aint going nowhere . the warehouse guys often use bad chocks and use only one nail
GOOD POINTS THANK YOU YOU HELP MANY.
Good job
I love the video
Should not have the straps directly above the tires like that.
That’s all well and good but you have forgotten most important peace’s. Where are your 4’ pipe stakes. A belly wrap goes all the way around the and back to the other side.
