Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

See this right here,


It applies in every jurisdiction in the United States and at every scale house and in every DOT officers car. It’s the law period, follow it and you’ll be fine. Section 393.102 covers exactly what I said and here that is.

It’s right there in black and white, I can’t see how you could read that and tell me I’m wrong. Every DOT I’ve ever dealt with in multiple states has had that book. If they try to tell me I have to have something I don’t I’m going to make them show me where it says it. And yes I’ve don’t that very thing and yes you can challenge them when they’re wrong.

Stop coming on here and pretending that it’s more than it is so you can sound smarter than you really are. You’re probably better off in your little circle of buddies talking about me where I can’t respond because it won’t work here.

 

Has anybody used this? It’s pricey but interesting.

 

An A-gamer would never use it.

 

I haven't seen those before, they look interesting though.
I purchased some additional chain the other day:

 

Well I never professed to be one. That’s why I don’t concern myself with whether someone else has chained properly or not. Life is easier when you just deal with your problems.

 

You bought that high dollar grade 100 stuff. Nice.

 

So what is the breaking strength of your chain?

 

60,000 for 1/2” grade 100 and 35,200 for grade 100 3/8. But that’s why I posted the correction to your statement. If you use the book you don’t need to know the breaking strength just the WLL. You’re confusing the two and therefore giving bad information. You jump on people for giving bad information so you shouldn’t.

 

Here’s the right information

 

You missed the important part of my question. I know the breaking strength of new chain, I asked what is the breaking strength of your chain.
Used chain, with it's dings, rust, marrs, etc has a diminished capacity so it's breaking strength is unknown. That's why WLL is marked and used, it takes these factors into account.
As far as your "Mr. Greatest ever blah blah blah" comment, take a look at your own posts with an unbiased eye sir...hello pot.


You may as well use this book as toilet paper in Canada, cause that's all it's worth. Once again, my point was the wording from the book on the FMCSA site above is the North American Cargo Securement Standard. Let me clear again about this, the USofA is IN North America, North America IS NOT in the USofA. Canadian refs are 80/50/20 WLL, and unless I know for a fact that someone asking a load securement question ONLY runs in the US, this WILL BE the standard I provide. I choose not to set someone up for failure when I don't know their complete application.
