    Ok in the end you have a loaded container? it should take the arch out of your deck.

    This is where i need to get off this train, I don't know what to do other than a couple of chain loops at each corner hook to the deck and then throw all the straps over the top of the #### thing. Then weight it all... to see if are legal in weight.

    8 and a half foot container will be what you get. Do not get the 9 and a half foot container, high cube.

    Get your 25 foot tape measure and know your height. Should be around 13.6.

    Chains work better than straps.

    Run your chains through chassis loops, straight down to the trailer and loop it around a spool or two each side/end. Put your binder in the center to pull both sides at once. 3 straps over the top and you're golden. Check your chains within 100mi to make sure there isn't any slack and keep rolling. Check securement after that as normal.

    On a side note I dont know what your plans are for camping in Newark..if any .
    If you are thinking about the pilot on doremus ave you can forget about that as it's full 24/7 .
    If you get in a bind pm me and I will direct you to spot close to there where you wont be bothered .
     
    x1Heavy, booley and D.Tibbitt Thank this.
