Very odd comment Glueball.......obviously no experience of B744F!
A walkaround of the maindeck on a fully loaded B744 checking what you can takes 10 minutes. No loadmaster is carried on the B744, however there is a loading supervisor who you liaise with. Used to find once in a while items not fastened as securely as I desired, also found a load blocking the fire extinguisher nozzles in the roof.
You can check the tyre pressures on the gear synoptic on the lower EICAS, so it's probably best to give it a glance!!

But then all pilots are different, some are maybe a wee bit more blase than others!
