    You do not have to block it unless you deflate the tires and that is only to keep the tires from cutting, if you chain it down correctly it never bounces.

    Some rubber tire equipment may move but secured it will not budge.

    we load it by what our air pressure gauges read each piece of equipment will have it's own gauge,jeep,trailer,tag axle and of course the truck.

    And hope the gauges are working right. I have air weigh on my trk..
    The gauge on the trl. died, I need to get a new one. Been lucky and getting lds. I have loaded before so I know where to place them.

    I just seen one of those Taylor Lines heavy haul Kenworths on 35E today just north of St Paul.

    I had never seen one before and didn't know they did that until I read it on here a couple days ago.
