Where is everyone #5

No such thing as over securment

You have to understand that is actually two chains at this point not one. Even the green book explains this I think.

 

Uhhhhhhhhhhh

Let’s just say no.

I’m a snap guy as of right now... always been my preference. I have a handful of ratchet binders. The majority don’t ratchet because I’ve been lazy and snaps are a bit easier on much of the freight I’ve done this far. For me anyway.

 

Yes it's 2 chains, direct securement, vs. 1 chain indirect. Same WLL.

 

I have snaps, hanging in the shop. Ill give them to anyone that wants the ##### things

 

I’ll take em

 

I like to use a ratchet binder on one end of a wheeled machine. Put it on first, snug it up a little but leave plenty of threads. Then go put snaps on the other end and make them fairly tight. Go back and dial in with the ratchet.

 

I understand.

With snaps I simply block the wheel one one side. Tighten the snap binder pulling into the block and then do the other. Normally works out just fine.

On these I used 8 foot 2x4s so even better...

 

Now... who shall we sacrifice to the load gods before my brain collapses on itself?

 

Thats how I can put 3 whole chains and 5 ratchet binders on a 40k coil. I have 5 points for 27,500lbs. Add a 6th binder Im at 33,000lbs.

 

Oh so you mean the “6 year veteran status” drivers that I ran into at Arlington my first weekend there whom #####ed and whined about all the lazy ########### we have on the SPP program who don’t do nuttin...

Those guys?

Yeah. I know a few of them.
