I am not a truck fuckler in any way shape or form, but checking out: https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/sites/fmcsa.dot.gov/files/docs/Drivers_Handbook_Cargo_Securement.pdf page 68 looks like it was still a completely improper arrangement. From what I can see the rolls should have been in the nose of the trailer anyways or the trailer should have had some sort of void filler to get the load more centered if necessary. Happy to be told how i'm wrong if so however.

The friction pads are the OSHA/FMCSA-approved securement method for hauling 88"+ rollstock. Each of those rolls are 98" high and contain about 7 miles of paper, they simply have so much mass that the only way to reliably secure them is to use their own weight, regular load restraints and air bags won't do anything to stop them from shifting. The really terrifying thing is how many owner operators I have seen delivering these that had no idea what was on their trailer.

Dumb question- why don't they put the rolls on the flat ends so they aren't capable of rolling?

Yea I feel this. Would strapping the individual rolls together have helped at all? Surely a few 4" straps around them could have helped a bit? As for not knowing whats in the trailer, i'm surprised this doesn't have a special placard requirement due to the unique challenges in transporting them.

SpaceCadetBob posted:Yea I feel this. Would strapping the individual rolls together have helped at all? Surely a few 4" straps around them could have helped a bit? Keeping the rolls together runs into the issue of having 45000 of fixed mass in the same spot on the frame. The tractors and trailers are already specialized for mill work and are marked as such, but there's only so much mass you can put on a piece of equipment before you run into trouble. Another problem is that the roads tend to move faster than they did 20 years ago and the new generation of trucks can stop a lot harder, especially the lighter mill-spec units we use. That's one of the reasons we haven't turned up the speed of our trucks like some other carriers have done to combat HOS restrictions. I mostly work in telematics and compliance, but that doesn't stop drivers from asking about turning up their trucks every time I'm in the field.

Important Flughafenfuckling update: Berlin Brandenburg Airport may actually open in quote:Airport chief Engelbert Lütke Daldrup said he was certain the first planes would land there on October 31, 2020, and the first departures would take place the following day. However, Supervisory Board Chairman Rainer Bretschneider said there were still "shortcomings" that needed to be addressed quickly in order to meet this target.

Sucks that those people who land there will be stuck inside the airplane until the next day before they can take back off to land at a working airport.

Passengers will each be given a tiny USB-powered personal fan for use during an evacuation. And as for the escalators, the escalator company has been contracted to build tiny, 3-foot mini-escalators to make up the difference.

I have an innovative plan to solve both the smoke extraction and escalator problem simultaneously, using really really big fans. Construction begins next week.

EvenWorseOpinions posted:Did Berlin Tegel not exist back then? I flew direct from Chicago o'hare when I went Tegel was there. The issue is that Tegel is loving old and pretty restricted about what size and weight aircraft it can take. All the times I've flown in I took some big widebody to either London, Spain, or Frankfurt and then transferred to a narrow body for the flight in. Not saying you didn't, but the ability to process bigger aircraft was a big talking point for getting a new airport.

Not saying you didn't, but the ability to process bigger aircraft was a big talking point for getting a new airport. If I recall correctly one of the delays was because they decided last-minute they wanted to be able to accommodate the A380, so they redid at least one of the gates (maybe a runway?). Since then Airbus has decided the A380 isn't profitable enough and they're going to stop making it.

They also assist non-unionized foreign workers that are preyed upon by their employers(often housed in absolute hovels, paid almost nothing, have their passports taken away, etc. after being promised unionized rates and treatment prior to coming to Denmark) with getting unioned up and legally protected. They are very, very good lads.
