help - load securement

To paraphrase the infamous Doc Brown ...... Where were goin, we don't need straps!!!

 

Bill Clinton argued about the word "is" during the Monica Lewinski hearings and here it all about the word "if"... Two letter words are becoming worse then four letter words...lol

 

The one thing yall are forgetting is the rule you keep arguing about is for straight loads IE crates bar stock square or round loads, there is also the rule(not sure the reg#) cover miss shaped or lack of securement pieces. Ie doest touch the trailer no securment points, we use this alot in heavy haul and over sized pieces. Some of the high pressure tanks i haul only have 3-4 securement points down each side and they are anywhere from 50-70 plus feet

 

It was mentioned in post #31

 

What I am actually wondering about is the wheels on the tractor. Am I seeing right, or are there only 4? How does that work for weight allowance etc.?

 

Super singles. Not sure how exactly they figure the weight allowance since some states go by axle and some by tire width, but I do know you are legal at 34k on a tandem with them.

 

Missed that post(#31) put again if you look at the load there is a point he could put a strap on the ower point of the front of the load, but the second teir is air born no way to secure it. and yes this load would fall under fabricated metals and covered under 393.110.

As far as super singles, The tires have a wierd wieght rating, they are suppose to actually have a high wieght rating than duals. Me personaly I dont like them and dont trust them, but then again Im old school
