    How far you driving with it ? Locally I would roll with it, looks good, but a chain wrapped between the wheels on each side (one axle) would look even better, just on the middle trailer(center of the 3).

    Looks like a 53' trailer so you want 7 over it at least.

    2 straps for the first 10 feet and 1 strap for every 10 feet afters. So 53 would be at minimum 6 all together. That's why I suggested a chain between the wheels on each side on 1 axle on the middle trailer.

    No 53 is 7, One for every 10 feet or fraction thereof.

    One every 10 feet. The two on front are just company policies, not the rules.
