All I could afford wrote:
Poorly secured ladders were always a peeve of mine. Particularly being Id like to assume the majority of people transporting ladders are some sort of home-improvement contractor. I used to joke that if they can't take two minutes to properly secure their own ladder in their own truck, rather just say "I guess this bungie cord is good enough", imagine the attitude when it's your house they are working on and there's a right way and a wrong way to resolve a problem.
Around here,any contractor or workman worth his salt carries ladders secured on a rack. I sure don't let my ladders blow off on the road, they cost good money. I do see a bunch of homeowners or guys trying to make a living doing odd jobs with poorly secured ladders or other. I cringe every time I pull out of Home Depot and see Joe Homeowner just throwing stuff in the box of a pickup and taking off. "It should be OK" is the mantra of a non-professional.
