How's this for load securement?

He should have 6 more straps for that load

 

We had a guy leave a shop I was working at with a 125 foot boom lift and not 1 chain on it. He was only going a couple kilometers but still, that'd be an expensive bill if it slid off.

 

States can go stricter, if it's intrastate.

 

2 straps are good enough for a ticket anywhere.

 

Back around 1980 I was moving a farmers D-7E, no blade or rippers, from the west side of US 101 to the east side. I bumped it up against the wide gooseneck on the Murray, shut it off, left it in gear & ratcheted down both pedals. Tracks sitting on 2x12 DF decking. Flat ground all the way. Would never be over 20 mph. No concern at all, however, as I crossed the overpass a CHP pulled up to the end of the ramp and looked at my tractor 30' from his nose. he did get out his little book and gave me a stern talkin to. Cost me only about 65 bucks back then.

 

You didnt notice the gorilla two sided tape under them did you. Have to look real close

 

Really? Can you elaborate on that?

 

DOT inspectors are state agencies.

 

I understand that, but where can they go above federal standards?

 

Federal law still says Cannabis is illegal....that didn't stop Washington, Colorado, Oregon & Alaska.
