Secure that freight!

It's a container, loaded rear-end forward probably at the rails and headed for the dockyard. That would be my guess. Surely it wasn't loaded at a factory shipping dock that way.

Question: What, exactly, would you use to secure that load? Load bars designed to press against the side-walls wouldn't hold that, if I'm any judge.

Drivers who pick up preloaded trailers [drop & hook] have no opportunity to secure the freight, as the doors are sealed before they get it.
I opened the barn doors once at a dock & nearly got clobbered by falling boxes, so I'm pretty glad to secure the load myself.

That may be a rolloff trl like a Landoll. When he rolls the container to the ground the doors will be facing the parking lot.
