Ratchet Straps?? Thot you Guys and Gals used CABLES!?! I'll guess the thickest bits shouted TOO HEAVY!!
Ironton Post nailed him. Tells me that the driver was probably running US-52 and/or the backroads near it. OHP has been running around that area a lot in recent months.
I thought they used chains on those logs.. Oh well, the driver in Connecticut has a partner to share Ramen Noodles (and Vaseline) with!!
Canada west coast use wrappers - from memory, 3/8" cable with cheater chains crimped on each end. Snap binder to cinch the ends together.
3 axle trailer so he should be okay to maybe 95000. Still 25k over though. Around Sw Arkansas, E TX, and N Louisiana they just use straps. Never see chains around here.
We call them wrappers(cables)snap chains for extensions and a binder(boomer). Surprised he didn't blow a tire. Oh wait that's not a real logger.
We call those hayracks. Everyone seems to be going to quads or super b's in BC these days. Seeing a lot of spine trailers in Alberta these days - single frame rail trailer with a bunk over the kingpin and one on the back. Tridrive with 2 tridem spine trailers in a B configuration - 10 axles. Look like they've got 9 or 9'6 wide bunks on them too.
