Load securment.

Hey, you're right!

I about spit my coffee out on that pic... I was gonna say, I can't believe someone would be that stupid. But the pic proves other wise. And they don't look like inop units either.....

 

They look a little loose, another click or two with the cheater bar should do it!

 

That's in NY. LOL Look at the plate on the pickup.

 

What state was it?

 

I don't haul vehicles anymore, but when I did I ALWAYS used a bungee cord to secure the chain under the vehicles on the top of the load. That way if a chain came loose, the tarp strap held the chain from dropping and denting a hood or breaking a windshield.

 

That's federal and what Missouri goes by. Personally, I secure all 4 of the very front and very top rear units. Everything else only gets two. And, by axle I mean the proper chain up locations on the front and rear. I do have axle straps for those occasions when there are no chain up locations and I'm not climbing onto the top deck to wheel strap.
