    It should in CO as well. If I owned a material yard my guys wouldn't load trailers that didn't have containment.

    Pretty sure it's on the buyer to cover their load.
    Just like it's on the driver of an 18 wheeler.

    I would agree. With today's sue happy America, I wouldn't want my business in the crosshairs.

    Apparently it's a popular way to get a free windshield.
    People will find a gravel truck with an uncovered load pull in behind them and take a pic.

    In general when doing bids for dirt jobs or rock jobs 1 yard is considered 1 ton obviously this isn't perfect but this will get you close enough to figure out how many trips you are gonna need. Most of the standard bobcat buckets are 1/2 yard buckets for reference.

    Ratchet straps?! Pffftt!

    Ratchet straps won't work! Any idiot knows you need a cargo net for that.
