Nothing could possibly go wrong with a ladder on wheels.
I think OSHA inspectors can’t travel in 3rd World countries with out their heads exploding. A 20k pound coil of metal on the back of a truck with 3 inch ‘speed bumps‘ to hold it- no straps. That was my favorite from India.

Who hasn’t ‘hopped’ the ladder a little when putting up Christmas lights….
 
For those who ride, and my have been to Deals Gap, and for those who have not:

About 10 or 11 yrs ago I used to live and ride in east TN and was active on a local MC BB. One day someone posted a close up shot of a chunk of fairing in the tree with the words "don't follow the Repsol" painted on it. We all got a pretty good laugh out of that because a former racer, who worked at and was trying to become the owner of the motel at the Gap, (meaning he rode up there every day) rode a Repsol. The moral was that following a knee dragging local at the gap may not be the best plan.

Found it: Windscreen on the right side

We were renting a house in a resort area of hot Springs AR. This truck had no business down there. 120 degree turn. The tow truck lifted the trailer into the air on the downhill side, squirted soap onto the uphill tires and pulled from the lower cables that were tied to a big tree through a pulley. Slid the tail uphill about 6 ft. Did a second pull, and got him out of there.

Some workers know what they are doing.
Those are the very valuable ones.
