    Kinda scary they let rookie drivers run flatbeds hauling coils.

    you will first need a driver , then a truck that will haul it, then a trailer that will hold it

    shotgun
    4 binders
    4 chains through the eye
    2-3 straps over the top
    edge protecters
    eye to the side

    5-6 binders
    5-6 chains
    edge protectors
    all this depends on what you have your chains rated at
     
    OEF08 Thanks this.

    I know, but it was just a question, so, maybe leave the assumptions till he says otherwise? ?

    we all had to learn at one time.
