    I always use chains on steel unless it is shiny bar or something that you can't put chains on.

    Yep, it just makes good sense. Now, I've done straps on some barstock, but coils... you just don't want to piss around, there.. Too much weight in a compact form. Unforgiving.

    Sounds like this driver really knows 393.100 through 136 as if there were no such rules.

    Are your straps really rated 8000 each? (Newbie question)

    The chain rating is correct.

    My bad! I had just read the DOT rating of 4000 on 4" straps, then read today that Maverick straps are 8000. Sorry!
