As wizard69 states, definitely NOT light. You might see a truck carry 3 large spools of wire rope, never coiled sheet or wire. Wire rope can only be rolled to a particular minimum diameter, hence the hollow core of wood or metal spool, and I suspect a fraction the length of coil stock. The whole point of coil is shipping greatest quantity possible and that is bound by GVW of semi's and flatbeds.
All that aside, even truckloads of crackers need to be secured.
I appreciate Jon's comment "...driver failed to pat it with one hand and say: "Yup, that'll hold."
"You gotta do that!"
Somewhere in HMT.net a comment noted a video depicted a hand pat on a project indicating completion and satisfaction. They added it's a common Teutonic gesture, rather like affection for an inanimate but 'live' object.
