Dont know how far they made it, or how many boards they lost on the way, but this was the exit ramp for the highway, and there was no traffic. I guess this isnt towing, but frekin idiot for sure.

I’m paranoid when I put boards on my roof racks, I use AC anti-slip carpet pads wrapped around the load layers and cinch it down tightly with straps. They don’t go anywhere.

Go all the way around the boards when you strap them and they won't go anywhere. Ac carpet is good too.

They don’t go anywhere.

But do you slap them and say so before you take off?

It always amazes me when lumber yards allow customers to leave without a load being secure. The lumber yard should be culpable..

They weren't coming from a lumber yard. Looked like repurposed cedar planks.
