Is this ok? (chaining)

Most of what I haul is less than 400 miles, so I usually do one a day. With the side kit it's only about 2 minutes. If there's a line, I'll bung the corner and middle and get out of the way too.

 

And not have any of this.

BUT......!!! In this situation this guy used the frame of this bus as his anchor point! We all know or should know this is not correct, since the suspension flexes up and down. Attaching to the axle would have been harder but also “Secure”!

I walked in the guard shack and ask the driver if he knew his binder was loose? He just looked at me and mumbled.

 

You have zero anchor points on your trailer. Each corner needs anchored on the machine and on the trailer as well. But..... you are here asking for help and advice which is great! Be safe out there.

 

Best way to haul coils, better to roll off the truck than into the cab. Good job driver. Are you using any coil racks, I can't tell, that would make a good job better.I also like the strap, that suckers going nowhere but down the road.Took a better look and saw the wedges in the floor. Haul many coils do you?

 

A little pricey, but then again you can't put a price on safety. I stay away from suicide binders had a bad experience with one.

 

That cop was hungry.You must have been out of state, figured you wouldn't fight it. I would have, but I fight any ticket, I'm silly like that. Got one the other day, making a local delivery, truck off truck route, I'll be in court.

 

I always drop the hook down the hole wrap the pocket and hook using the hole pocket, pun intended.

 

Would like to see a picture of this method....

I've seen a lot of dunnage walk out of landing gear because of broken bungees.

 

Example of cross chaining and using one chain with 2 binders. Notice the loose bit between the binders...DOT will look for that.
