Is a bed-load found in a meander or straight river?

Bed-Load is basically round rocks that vary in size but are generally the size of like a baseball or a fist. Bed-load rocks are at the bottom layer of a river and typically glow downstream pushed by the current and rolling on the ground. Bed-load rocks tend to become smaller and rounder as they go downstream, eroding away, getting scraped and abraded by moving sand in the water. Above the Bed-load rocks is the suspended load which is mostly silt and sand that does not roll like bed-load and just flows in the water. The logical answer to your question would be a strait river, the reason is that rocks would collect and form natural dams if they were prevented from rolling by the constant curving of meanders. Also the rocks themselves scrape away at the riverbed as they roll down the easiest possible path- a strait line- making the straight river even more deep and strait. Another reason for my answer is that bed-load is from fast moving water, such as rapids, which also would erode away
