Roehl Driver Check In

My love for Gary local drivers grow even more!!

Also if any of you have never seen a 47k pound coil before (DrtyDesiel). I have taken some photos for the curious folks that would like to know what it's like.





Gary securement differs from the way I would do it so I will only post my way. Maybe some of you trainers can correct me if I'm doing something wrong



47k coil
5 coil bunks
2 pieces of wood
1 friction mat
2 rubber pads for the wood corners
4 3/8s chains
8 metal edge protectors

4 snap binders (not the snaps the other kind we have I'm drawing a blank on the darn name)


4 straps over the top (i don't load suicide style)

1 steel tarp
25-35 bungees



That is all that can some to mind, might be missing one or two things but would never miss them in actually securing the coil. I take my securement very serious, I want to feel 100% safe of my securement so I know the people around me will have a safe trip home passing by me.

I know people load them suicide style, I just can't bring myself to do it. I think I can fit more securement in it the other way.

 

Ratchet binders is what you're thinking of. Sounds good to me though bro!!

 

Was able to login on my phone to the new site its cool i guess and all phone frindly. tried to look at the scorecard but it wasnt available and looked like the old unphone friendly site. which =awsome (not)

 

Thanks for posting this, Lantern.

A reminder that if the chains go around only one trailer rubrail attachment point, the breaking strength for each is 5000 lb. Going around any two (cylindrical or rectangular [stake pocket]) points is 7000 lb. This is sometimes difficult to do with a large coil and shorter chains... Also as others have pointed out, ratchet binders are stronger than snap binders.

 

Maybe use a '$' then you can feel the money... lol

 

I couldn't use the last one, so haven't even considered trying the new one. Forgot all about and deleted those cluttering messages as soon as they came in.

 

It's the Stargate.

 

That just cracked me up.

 

I guess Team Roehl doesn't want me to be part of the team. It keeps telling me my current password is incorrect.
