Question hauling empty containers

I don't not use straps, don't need them.

You need to look at my picture a little closer, there's a tremendous amount of downforce on that box. When I pull the tag trailer behind the boom truck I have chain from the top down because I can't do it at the bottom like that. When I do it this way on my lowboy I can make the blocks crack I can pull it down that hard, I cannot chaining from the top down.

But I yield to what is clearly the smarter man!

 

Hello! I would like to transport a 45' cargo container on a 40' tilt-back truck. I really have no other options as I must tilt-back and drop that 45'. What are the hoops I have to go through? File with the capitol DOT? Put flags all over it? Pilot car? Helicopter escort? Certainly there's a way to do this.... is there a tilt-back flatbed that could have 1' hang forward and 4' hang off the back, or are there no tilt-beds that could do that? Please write [email protected] if you have an answer. The container will be modified!

 

Oil field winch truck with tail board roller should be able to do it.

 

you’d be surprised. ive dealt with drilling equipment/machinery for several years on flatbeds. he has blocks under the container, those will exponentially increase downforce. i’ve moved some sloppy loads containing 15+ pieces of random tooling etc, it’s amazing what a 6x6 or simply stacking items correctly will do for securement. per usual, common sense goes A LONG way.
