I worked for a rebar fabricator and hauled quite a few loads of rebar. I know how to secure various sizes of rebar and I would have been fired, and rightfully so, if I hauled rebar like that. It’s flat out dangerous.
Yes, this should not be the way to haul rebar. And when my skateboard had a headboard mounted to the front of it. Most pros pulling a flatbed have their protection mounted tractor frame behind cab instead. This means in a sudden stop, if the load shifts it has at least 5 feet to be moving faster than the driver when it hits the rack.
I'm not saying this is a good/safe way to haul. What I'm saying is if you are going to be upset about this unusual method, you maybe should take issue with the tons of bar and pipe that moves out to small jobs on roof racks and such. Better that load does not get loose, but if it does the launch from low like that is much less likely to do real harm.
