That would be a pain in the butt to tarp those tanks, but that did cross my mind.
Those fancy pipe stakes are on the trailer, currently. I was told they needed to be pinned down somehow, so I found these fancy clips in Midland and drilled a couple holes in each one. They’ll go onto my headache rack when I drop the trailer.

It can either go on the truck or the trailer. They serve a couple uses, to store tools and equipment, and to protect the truck from shifted cargo.
@historicalarms posted that one load that went into the cab and hit the steering wheel. A headache rack should help in that situation

Yeah, there’s open and enclosed headache racks, it’s kind of a catchall term

Snap some pics along the way. This part of the US most of us will never see.

Are you going to cross back into Canada at Detroit?
I drove down to Lewiston, New York, on Saturday to pick up a couple of packages via NeedAUSAddress. On both the US and Canadian sides, there were multiple lanes open but with no vehicles. Very weird considering I spent about 40 minutes waiting there to get into the US just a few months ago. On the US side, they only asked "have you been out of the country in the last 30 days". I expected more. No idea what they are doing for the commercial traffic.

I read a news blurb yesterday that commercial truckers will be exempt from border closures.

Not too much to see, although we might do more corn versus the prairies grains and wheat?

It was business as usual at the border, slight wait times but nothing out of the ordinary.
I crossed at Detroit, there’s a heavy truck wreckers in Chatham. Paid $50 for a used door latch instead of $280 for a new one

Apparently Trudeau made a speech today outlining what was going on, but I missed it. From the sounds of it you’re right, either way it’s good to be back on this side of the border for now

It’s not until you get north of Barrie that Ontario gets pretty. I mean some of the lakeshore views from the Great Lakes are pretty, but I didn’t get near those
