The Truckers’ Report flatbed Hall of Shame.

Thats true, they won’t

 

I do like your way better. At least you have the chain connected to 2 points on the unit AND 2 points on the trailer, where scottie's pic just has the chain touching 1 point on the trailer so the chain basically makes an inverted triangle... my brain is telling me if enough forward or backward pressure was applied to the unit, the whole "triangle" would want to kinda rotate, if that makes any sense.

Not gonna lie, I've had a few drinks lol. So take whatever I say with a grain or two of salt.

 

Your rocking triangle theory has merit, I believe.
It’s kinda why I dislike chaining machines where the anchor points are “inboard” of the machines, if you will, rather than the conventional method of “stretching them out”. But sometimes you gotta get creative.
These pics do make me wonder about using a single D-ring for multiple securement points. That’s another Plan B for me. That guy’s trailer in the pics absolutely needs more securement points.
And most local haulers (besides me) don’t lock the transport pin on rollers, and I think that’s a bad plan.

 

It's very common to have coils touching each other. Nothing to be concerned about.

 

Yea, I know of the well around here. They actually do train the drivers.

 

WTF? Did they weld a piece of bar stock connecting the wheel to the trailer?

 

That's for shipping purposes.
Trailer and whatever is on top off it (like that truck) is going to Africa,most likely.

 

Well that’s definitely a new one...

I’d love to see what that ratchet strap is connected to.
