Great service and very affordable.

Got told this was an unsecured load. Tried to point out my load was all large and heavy items including my old taneau cover (150lbs) I'm replacing as soon as the rain stops, and got threatened with the cops and 145 fine. This was the load. Can't even see it standing next to it. Over 1' clearance from load to top of bed. I get and support securing your loads. But use common sense before unfairly power tripping.
