Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

That load should make you nervous

 

It makes me nervous lol no way I would have hauled it like that.

 

We never haul machinery so I do not Carry shackles. Kubota told me where to chain. So I did what they said it's their product. I delivered safely so that's all that matters.

 

Fixed that for ya.

 

Yea I've had to take my chain hooks off before by pulling the cotter pins to chain a ac unit.

Johndeer4020 I understand your concerns and I learned from the load and will definitely secure differently next time

 

I use straps on machinery, usually over buckets but I always put felt under them and rubber under my chains, that's brand new stuff and if my Kubota was missing paint I would be upset.

Live an learn man...

I always keep a bunch of shackles because the casks we haul require them but it never hurts to have some wooden wedges you can nail down under tires too.

Used to haul small equipment trailers and I always liked to nail some wedges under the tires.

You can never be over prepared when it comes to flatbeds.

 

Back at it. First load after thanksgiving is some tank heads going to Houston

 

Stopped here at the loves in Palestine Arkansas, as I'm on my 30, in drives this red Pete with 3 slotted coils loaded suicide and not one hogtie chain across the top. In my opinion it's an accident waiting to happen.

This is also why I tend to shy away from asking anyone else for securement ideas.
