When I was in Saukville, WI a few weeks ago, I drove by the Charter Steel plant thats in their industrial park and they had loaded rolls of steel wire on to what look like box cars with out the sides( all there was, was the front and rear sides with a roof). Pretty neat. Anyone know what kind of cars I am talking about? The cars were loaded half way up with this wire. The wire kinda reminded me of rebar. The load was untarped at the time I saw it. Seeing that Charter has stacks and stacks of steel wire housed outside, they probably dont need to tarp the load. <br /> <br />As for trucks, most steel coils loaded on flatbeds are loaded "suicide" style. Nothin is gonna stop a steel coil once it starts to go.
