Ok it has been updated so far. I'm really glad everyone is pitching in. Semi Crazy, I know you are just poking fun but please poke fun at everyone and not one certain company. I don't want this to turn into an argument on what company is better or which company secures loads better etc. I want this to stay informative not argumentative. I do like your pic in your signature. Priceless.
Auctioneer Thanks this. -
WLL does not double anytime,,if it's rated for 5400 then that's it,,if you proof ask an DOT officer.you can't do any thing to increase that.

BL, don't ever be embarrassed to ask,I am a firm believer in the only dumb question is the one not asked,that's the one that hurts you or worse.just ask that's what we are here for.

This is also why I have the little calculator and a load securement book. They confuse the hell out of me. Heck before I became a truck driver I used bigger chains than I ever had too. 6 1/2" chains on an old farmall that only weighed 9500lbs loader included yea a wee bit overkill could've broke 2 of them and it still wouldn't have gone anywherecritters Thanks this. -
