Well, that's cool. Make some extra moolah on the side. Well, if you do get on top of the ladder, let us know. No bother. :P

I guess I just have not been getting out often enough, but I don't think that I recall ever seeing styrofoam being hauled on a flat bed!!

Seems like you need a lot of padding to keep the styrofoam from crumbling, breaking into a jillion pieces. :shock:

Good point, Jackrabbit!! According to Spencerains origional post, there is no tarping, just strapping. Leaves me to wonder how they would protect the load from the elements, road debris, and the like!!
It would take one hell of a lot of styrofoam to weigh 23,000lbs!!! Maybey it is some other kind of foam?? ....like, say, some kind of sponge foam used in upholstering furniture or car seats??

Yeah I wonder what kind of foam it is that does not require any tarping?...........I would imagine that at a bare minimum it will require a smoke tarp.
maybe the "spencinator" can elaborate further

I guess it could be shrinkwrapped or something....but even then the straps would tear it up.
