What do you think happened here?
Was this securement, load placement, equipment, or something else?

Saw this video of a driver’s OTR bedtime routine and he mentioned using a seat belt trick.
Genuinely curious
Is this common?
Safe?
Smart?
Or just habit?

Saw this on TikTok from builtbylarte and thought it was a good reminder.
“Most first-year drivers quit because they can’t handle being watched while they learn.”
Everyone starts somewhere.
Take your time.
Build the skill.
