I ran into a real life consquence of the steel tariffs
#15
I hauled dismantled and mangled bridge beams from freeway reconstruction to a scrap yard a decade ago (80,000 pound gross vehicle weight). They had a camera positioned to take a photo of the front of the truck and me as I checked in on the scale. I was on the ground outside at a window checking in and they would tell me when to turn to look at the camera. They did the same when I weighed out empty - for whatever reason.

Scarey loads to chain and unchain. When loading on the construction site they kept the grapple holding the load until you had two chains secured. When at the scrap yard you had one chain on the very tail end of the load that you took off last lest the load tumble off. They were too busy doing other things to hold your load while you unchained.
