Coils Question

Unfortunatley it is NOT indirect. When the securement device only connects to one side on the trailer, it gets only 1/2 the WLL. Autocar posted the link to the regulation, and also quoted it. not much can be said about it other than that is just the way it is, no matter how or what you were taught, That's the regs

 

If you securement goes from the trailer over or through the load back to the trailer, it is indirect securement. You are thinking that because the horseshoe does not go to the other side of the trailer, but returns to the same side of the trailer that it is thus direct. You are incorrect. DIRECT SECUREMENT goes from the trailer to the load....never back to the trailer.

You have your regs book, find it yourself.

 

I already, not only linked, but copied and pasted the regs. It is stated, right in the reg, that the WLL is the same as direct tiedown. I suggest you read and digest the official information provided, as that is what counts, not lunch counter interpretations.

 

Can't we just all get along?

 

Never mind. Misread something from securement site in Oregon.

 

Sorry amigo, I trust your links about as much as I trust a child molester. Nothing personal.

 

that was a bit uncalled for... especially since her links are directly to the FMCSA regulations site. that is the ONLY link you should trust. As you found out with your "Oregon Securement Site"

 

What a boring world it would be.....

 

This was at a shipping office in CA. Looks odd but looks like it's for smaller coils. Sorry about the bad photo I was in a hurry!

 

I hope you don't think I was serious!!!!!!!!

I like watching a good fight as much as the next guy.
