Update: Reader input
-Work gloves needed.
-Hard hat might be appropriate.
-It appears some equipment and items inside trailer are loose and might not be strapped down sufficiently for travel.
-Safety cone should be further back a ways from back of trailer. Safety cone is dirty. Perhaps it should be cleaned up or replaced.
