    In his defense that sign is legal is Texas because a banner is not required on the truck or trailer. Just pilot cars. But he probably runs that same sign everywhere.

    That’s what I saw and that’s why I don’t like it.

    Anti-slip rubber pads every time under stuff like that. Wonder if the guy actually forgot to secure it?

    No,he didn't.
    He was lazy.
    You see a strap as it slides off.


    BTW anti slip mats are required by law on that load in Germany.
    As is a higher level off securement compared to DOT rules.
    If he had been stopped he would have been put OOS.

    I didn't think twice about chaining this. But since then I keep seeing it on other people's decks with 2 chains thru the center.
    Those were 3 spools ea about 12k#. I did 4 chains front and back and 2 chains on the middle one.
    What's best practice here?

    12k a piece then 2 chains would be plenty . Id probably throw a 3rd on on the front and call it a day ... u got plenty of securement tho
