    12 wide to Methuen Mass. @W923 our concrete pieces are usually around 30k, most of them have foam insulation cast in. When we used to haul the double-T’s, they could be 60k DA0D11D4-1C66-4A15-B3A5-19E61F5A5CCA.jpeg

    Yeah 495 is always a challenge but we’re actually routed up 91 and across 2. Only had to deal with 495 for a little ways, but then I still had to return…

    I am not pleased with my securement. I don’t like how it looks or anything. Also first time trying out my brand new snap binders. I feel like it’s a half ### securement job but I didn’t know what else to do. The chain spot in the front is just a hole, no way to wrap a chain in or around it. Forced to use a hook. So I did the same in the rear. It just looks unsecured to the CAT load I did couple weeks ago. This time they had buckets which couldn’t come in contact with the chain. I’m open to tips/criticism.

    Don’t they have a “load instructions sheet” that outlines how they want them done? Back when I was doing a lot of Deere products, seem to remember that they had them. Then that was cutting heads and related stuff.

    I can guarantee that if anyone starts looking that back machine is going to cause problems because you don’t have a separate chain for each corner. Actually you can use one long one but it has to be able to be cut in the middle without affecting the securement. Personally I don’t think there’s anything unsafe with what I can see but you asked for it.
