Thanks Tarun, it's cool to see those bikes hitching a fun ride! Do you have any pictures of the chocks used to hold the front tyres?

Unfortunately no @vivoverland. That was are an old picture of a vehicle that I used to see often at my apartment complex.
I haven't seen this Xenon in a while now. Will definitely check this out if it comes back. :thumbs up
Wondering how to secure your load in the truck? Tarp flapping around in the breeze and running out of bungee cord? Learn to tie the truckie's hitch, and you'll be sorted with just a good piece of rope!

Woah! Small world indeed, I recognize the vehicle, Aroo's from Goa/Bangalore. Buddy of mine too.
These are some tips which might be helpful to load a pickup truck correctly:-
1. Check the payload limits- Payload capacity is the amount of weight a truck can carry. It includes both passengers and cargo. Payload limits are typically found on a label on the rim of the driver’s door. Don’t try to carry too much in a single trip; take multiple loads if needed.
2. Load heavy items near the cab- Heavy items like books should be loaded as close to the cab as possible. Loading heavy items near the cab will help your truck maintain good handling on the road and prevent possible damage to the suspension and drive train. Make sure weight is evenly distributed left to right. Secure with ratchet straps.
3. Load large items on sides- Place pictures, mirrors and heavy furniture on the sides. Securely wrap and glass or mirrored items as well.
4. Load boxes in between large items on sides- Start loading boxes in between the large items. Heavier boxes should be on the bottom; lighter boxes on top. Pack enough so that the mirrors and pictures can’t move. You want things snug. Maintain left to right weight balance. Secure to bed with ratchet straps.
5. Place tarp or webbing over boxes- This is just added security. You don’t want your stuff flying out of the bed of the truck when you’re on the freeway. A tarp can also ensure that your things don’t get wet if it’s raining.
