    That’s what I have and I don’t think it looks anything like mine. Hard to tell, it’s definitely not a very good picture.

    Only a few things and normally its the combination.

    Tight U turns loaded
    Heavy concentrated load in center
    No dump axle.
    Excess speed on RR tracks.

    Combination of this will break any brand of trailer right infront of lead axle hangers.

    OH to TX. And I tried to finish that tail like the picture from a few weeks ago, and this is what I ended up with.

    Almost certain its a older reitnour. Looking at the red reflective name plate in the center.

    You guys got it all wrong, those trailers are just doing the 3+1 mating call to attract a mate. A5A6BA52-B7E8-4963-BDFB-E149BDB1785B.jpeg

    That's when the knife comes out. I have no problem using short straps, but keeping track of of the different lengths got to be a problem, so I just cut 10-12 down to 20' and don't have any problem telling them from the 30's. I also roll them opposite, since just about any time I throw 30's I put a twist in them. I keep 2 real short straps that come in handy for stuff that's only a foot or so off the deck too.

    Well, I was going to do it like the pic, but one thing led to another, and it worked out good. That ball is actually really tight, and it's wrapped around a bar in that winch, and pinched between the bar and the strap.

    Not sure I could replicate it though, it just sorta "happened".
