X chains on coils

Minor detail, but you have pointed to FMCSA Publication No:MC-P/PSV-04-001 that includes a summary of the regulations, you have not shown an actual regulation.

I'm not aware of the regulation changing since 2006, none of the .gov websites show a change, and the green book I have does not show a change.

 

Are you? Do either of us need to be? It seems kinda fundamental for that extreem.

 

according to your link, as written, it states that ALL tie downs now only get 50 percent of WLL, no matter the anchor point.

 

It was just an open question to the forum. I'm not trolling for an argument. You or I missed something somewhere.

 

That is correct abut an FMSCA publication isn't just opinion and it wouldn't be at all out of the realm of possibility for a government website to be out of date. I have sent an email regarding this we will see what they say.

 

My link?

 

Unfortunately that's what a lot of these should be friendly conversations devolve into.

 

Has there ever been a coil thread that hasn't turned stupid?
