maybe, but logging trucks are second only to hay trucks in rate and lethality of dropped load. It's a really good and basic safety practice, the movie didnt come up with the idea of logging truck accidents.

I never did fully trust those hay trucks. Glad that wasn't unjustified

each of the hay bales on those trucks weighs between 500 and 1600 lbs, normally on the high end. they also suck to haul.
