    it looks as if the tandem pins are not engaged on the front so that could be the cause


    i have never hauled a coil so i don't understand the chain issue..

    i would think you should have chains and binders on both sides but maybe i off on that

    Nebraskas old "dukes of hazard" bridges where the bridge was much higher than the road?

    Mouse over the strip on the last photo, then when the viewer comes up click on it and if you've got Firefox, click Cntrl and + to magnify the photo, you can see the chains and straps hanging from the high end and across the flatbed deck. It looked like 5-6 chains to me and 2 straps.
