    Looking for a little info, I don't haul them but recently a local truck ended up in the ditch (same company i run for).

    Trailer info,

    4 axle trailer, 48' long. 3 different piles of logs. The front bunk is setup with 3 winches but only 2 had broken cables. Logs ended up on the roof and into the headach rack.

    I'm wanting to know if by law should all 3 winches have been used on the front bunk?? Still may not have saved logs from moving forward but never know right.

    Sorry if my question is confusing, tried to explain situation best I could.

    Thanks
