The day a whole pig almost rolled out of my truck on I-35
I was hauling a 200 pound hog from a farm outside Austin back to my shop last Tuesday. Hit a bump near the exit and heard a thud in the back, looked in my mirror and saw the tailgate had popped open. Somehow the tarp I'd thrown over it got snagged on a tie-down hook and held everything in place like a giant sling. I pulled over shaking, re-secured the whole thing with two extra ratchet straps, and now I double check my load every time I get on the highway. Anyone else got a close call story with a load going sideways?

Three hundred pounds of feed corn bags came loose on me once near Waco.
