    " If it wants Off , Let it off "

    I have heard this statement from a whole host of people . Flat bed guys and low boy hands a like seem to spout this a lot . I'm just wondering how many people actually believe in that statement . Don't tie a load down to stay on the trailer but instead just enough binders to let it break free...
