    While the regulations go into detail about rating straps, chains, wire rope and a number other securement devices. The one thing that they do not do is specify a particular type of securement device for any situation.

    Agreed.

    One we don't know enough. However the way the trailer is beat to crap, it makes me think of a inter port or mill move. Most them guys toss one chain and go. Off road and not subject to regs. Never seen straps used. But more than possible, or even another county.

    Also why does it have 2 dollie legs on drivers side?

    It may be legal, but IMHO it behooves one to not be so cavalier with something capable of killing you.
