    Never heard of container locks on a flatbed? You can even see them buried in the deck at the back in the beginning.

    Tri-state usually has their stuff together, I wouldnt be surprised if there was container locks on that location of that trailer. They do have some specialty trailers.

    Yep, the one in the back is for a 40’ container lock.
    I’ve loaded a bunch when I worked hauling 20’ isotanks

    plus I’ve seen a lot of idiots chaining and strapping them all over the place, walkways, hand support rails(very few have on iso tanks)
