The Truckers’ Report flatbed Hall of Shame.

Technically, he should be good with just two chains since these units are ( or should, probably, be) lighter than 10,000 lbs. Even in this direct tie-down case.


However, I'd surely throw a strap especially over those that don't have coil racks. Especially since he has it in the middle with the most rotary moment.

 

Actually, I guess it depends on what picture we're looking at. One was a picture of JonJon78's and another was another drivers, according to the sound of his text. The one in the full picture looks like it shows one chain front and back just over the space between the outer hub and the wheel on each side of the axle. Unless those are looped around that space, that doesn't stop lateral movement of the load. I got the impression the second photo was JonJon78's and had the chain looping through the two ears on the one side, and a straight shot from a loop on the opposite side, that we can't see in the closest one to us, but the one further back looks like it shows that back side chain on the loop we still can't see.

Correct me if I'm wrong, JonJon78, because I can't zoom in close enough with enough definition to see that full size trailer load's securement.

 

I had a question mark in there cause i too didnt see what was terrible, just guessing, never hauled those before

 

I know, that's why I tried to stipulate what I saw that you probably were 'question marking' for.

 

Stolen pic, I know nothing more than what you see.

 

I saw that, too. But i had first morning home "chores" to take care of before i stole it!

 

Well my first morning choring involves coffee and phone in my "office".

 

Strap and go no tarp

 

I can’t believe the shipper let them leave like that.

 

Outside tire front axle looks off rim as well. Loser
