Back around '76, I was a relief driver for Pittsburgh Gage.
If you were good as a relief drive then you'd get promoted to a regular driver.
So there was competition among the relief drivers.
I never tried to compete, because I didn't like the company's equipment, like bold tires.
One driver was fast, we called him the "rabbit" We hauled large sections of pipe to the Steel Mills, and machine shops.
One day the "rabbit" came back to the warehouse.
The steel pipe, that he delivered had poked threw the bulk head into the right side of the cab. The "rabbit" was sent back to the Union Hall.

I watched a coil of 1.2 thick at 7 tonne swing on an overhead crane. The guy tried to stop it using his hand the coils smash into the wall and completely crush his hand its something not to play with, as a coil can cut you in half.

I saw a flatbed truck with a huge diameter steel coil with the rolling direction fore and aft. It was stabilized with two 2x4 chocks with the 2 inch height to roll over, and a couple nylon straps through the hole. I hope he never had to use the brakes!

- Steel Coils should all be transported in specially made.steel cradles like in Europe.
- But that would cost more money!
Solution; " *drive carefully!* "
__The same solution (Be Careful) used at all Russian nuclear power plants.
