I know TMC's policy is 1.5 x the legal minimum securement. Maverick has a similar policy of going above and beyond the minimum Fed regs.

After delivering the load a day early I went to the terminal in Tulsa (I delivered right down the road in Sand Springs) to get a steering tire replaced and a PM done. Once at the terminal I was informed another Arrow driver contacted my DM and gave my truck number and said I had insufficiant securement on my coil. I asked my DM if this worthl;ess rat mentioned how many chains I did have, and he said yes the driver said you had five. My response was so why are we having this conversation. To make a long story short I had to draw a diagram, show the load securement regulations, and do the math for him before he finally realized that five chains was legally sufficiant for the coil I had. This and many other reasons are why I am looking for a new job and leaving these incompetant morons ASAP
pyro if you're leaving, thats a good thing. by not putting six chains on your "super coil" (did it have a cape?) you were in violation of company policy. arrow's policy is to exceed dot requirements.

Arrow policy is different from dot regulations. coils over 33,000 lbs require 6 chains for arrow policy. you broke it, and i guess a proud employee turned you in. reminds me to dot my i's cause i try to cross the t's. did they make you watch a safety video?

I know that Maverick gives you 8000lbs per chain. I would have put six chains on as well. I have never understood the laziness in the flatbed world. We are already out there getting sweaty, and already pulling chains, binders, and coil protectors out. How much time is one more set? Is that one set worth a families life?

You bet it is.
