He has the equivalent of two chains from side to side.
And what does it matter if it goes in the ditch, it’s just a half million dollar truck.NavigatorWife and Aamcotrans Thank this. -
For some countries he has three chains too many.

I was on 287 just south of Amarillo today, and a work truck with a gooseneck trailer hauling a BIG forklift slowed in front of me to turn into a C-store parking lot.
When their trailer "rocked" because of the culvert grade entrance the forklift rocked up sideways.
Upon closer look, as I regained my speed, I saw they hadn't secured it AT ALL.
Not a single chain.
Not a single strap.
Not even some duct tape.
Now, some may say, "they probably are just moving it from one side of town to the other"..
But , what if one of those 15yr old knotted up tires on that rusted up gooseneck pops?
Or, if someone stops in front of them?
I bet that thing weighed 10k lbs.MartinFromBC, NavigatorWife, Slowmover1 and 3 others Thank this. -
