Our trailers are set up a little different. My truck has 7 ea 3/8 chain and snap binders, 7 each 5/16 chain and snap binders. Basically the drivers side chain hanger is 1/2 full of 3/8 chain and the other half is snap binders. Same on the other side except it is 5/16 chain. I mostly use 3/8 chain so that is why they are on the drivers side. I also have 4 each 3/8 ratchet binders. This is for the trailers without boxes such as the RGN trailers. I sometimes use more than one trailer in a day. Used 3 one day. Also the stretch flats do not have boxes on them.
On the trailers that do have boxes such as the quad flats, One box has straps and protectors in it and the other box has a #### load of binders and 5/16 chain. These are our concrete pipe hauling trailers. Basically, every trailer that has winches has straps in the box. It may or may not have chains, it all depends on the trailer. Some of our lowboy trailers have 1/2" chain and ratchet binders in them for the larger equipment.
We do not tarp anything so we do not carry them. We have some but I think they came with some used trailers the boss purchased. Oops, I take that back, I did tarp some empty fuel cells so the placards would not show... LOL -
