What is so special about driving with metal coils?


It makes the trailer top-heavy. He's not talking watch springs here, but
a 12 foot diameter roll of several-foot wide steel sheet or plate. And you
have to be exceedingly careful of front- or back-end collisions because
the coil has a tendency to roll.

Hope This Helps!
