The Truckers’ Report flatbed Hall of Shame.

When this guy passed me. (I'm a slow turtle stuck at 63).
It looked like all his chains were tight. But for them only having one binder per side of each machine.
His trailer also had a HECK of a lean to the right. Almost as if, it has different sized tires on the passenger side of the trailer.

Personally, I would do the same with the chains. But use one binder per corner.
SO, yeah 20 binders. But only 8 chains.

 

What in the fluff is that blue thing? Either of em really.

 

Airplane Wings.
Would be my guess.

 

I have also been told on a backhoe that the outriggers need to be chained together in case the hydraulics leak off, they won't hang over the edge of the trailer.

 

To each his own... I guess if you aren't using chains or edge protectors ya just strap the Hell out of it and pray...

 

By any chance did you get those out of Chicago?

 

I never used chains on stuff like that, mostly because we didn’t carry any. But I did use felt, pieces of old straps, and old t-shirts to protect my straps.

 

My guess is windmill blades.

 

Conveyor belting, firehose and radiator hose chunks are the most rugged freebie edge protectors i have used. Inner tube isnt bad either.
