Well at least the dude flippin' the bird has three points of contact !*don-know!*

I too have had a desire to ride cross country on a freight. I would never act upon that desire because it is simply too dangerous for me, and I know how to get on and off a moving car, how to estimate speed of equipment, inspect a load to see if it's secured, ect...
