I can’t see detail enough in the picture, but if the planks are only constrained at the rear window as a pivot point, he should be just fine if he’s careful about his turns. I watch loaded log trucks go by my place every day, and I see that the articulated trailer can move back and forth under the load of logs. Whether his forward support can pivot enough is still an open question though. Or am I missing it entirely?
I would think the boards would need to be secured to the center of the luggage rack, instead of each side, for that to work. Even then, he would have to be careful to not make too sharp of a turn.
The truck and trailer that delivered the flag pole for my last house was interesting with it’s single point pivoting pole in the trailer.
It would be funnier to watch the idiot try these on a slick road.
Yup, bungee cords at the rear roof bar only, it is almost over the rear axle. Same for rear board securing, make it somewhat flexible.
Now if he bungees to both roof bars, he is screwed on a sharp turn.
Seen this done my Mexicans at our local home depot, truck and trailer for the real long boards, not to mention watching them stuff100 sheets of wallboard on the back of a Chevy 1500, the back springs were almost solid and the front wheels barely touching the pavement. Fun to watch at a distance.
This individual may vote.
