I was curious why chains ?! I would put 4-5 straps over .

 

Chains are faster and easier. I had all 4 chains put away before I could have rolled up the 7 required straps, if you’re using the general securement regs. Also in my opinion direct securement is always better the indirect.

it could also be argued that the trailer is over 10k(it’s close) and on wheels, therefor must be secured like a piece of equipment.

393.130 What are the rules for securing heavy vehicles, equipment and machinery?
(a) Applicability. The rules in this section apply to the transportation of heavy vehicles, equipment and machinery which operate on wheels or tracks, such as front end loaders, bulldozers, tractors, and power shovels and which individually weigh 4,536 kg (10,000 lb.) or more. Vehicles, equipment and machinery which is lighter than 4,536 kg (10,000 lb.) may also be secured in accordance with the provisions of this section, with §393.128, or in accordance with the provisions of §§393.100 through 393.114.

 

I used a combination of straps and chains when i had a stack of new RGN trailers. its so i dont end up on the hall of shame thread in this sub.

 

If it was going more then 300 miles and I had the time we would of. The second picture has a 20’ bar of titanium stuffed between the frame rails. That was super fun to tarp.

 

That's a good looking truck. I like t800, you just don't see very many of them.

 

Thank you very much, they gave me some nice equipment so I do my best to take care of it. You are correct, a t800 road tractor is not very common. Most t800’s are vocational trucks.

 

T800 always looked to me like heavy haul truck ... more heavy haul than w900

 

I saw a yellow one of your company couple weeks ago in post falls. Had one of those big containers on

 

"It weighs more than a sleeper truck."

And there's the rub. You don't get any more capacity, and it doesn't have a sleeper for that weight.
