I see that all the time. None of those guys use X chains across the front. All truck drivers should be scared shitless when they haul anything without having MORE than enough securement to stop forward movement. They should hang that article with huge pictures at the aluminum plant.

They had pictures at a steel pipe plant in Perth Amboy, NJ of a dead driver that was pinched over the engine of his day cab. The pipe came forward thru his headache rack and shoved him over the steering wheel and through the windshield. The pictures were big and clear right next to the window where you picked your paperwork. In big letters it said "make sure your load is secure" It was a brutal but simple reminder not to get lazy and compliant. To me it was very effective.
