Ok. Só if I want to change the gear while my foot is on accelerater, do I take off my foot and then change the gear or I maintain my foot?

I would like to state unequivocally, from someone who has never hauled a coil of anything, that this operation would be vastly safer if the coil were laid flat, with the eye facing up.

Lets see you do that with a 40 or 50 MPH wind, raining or minus 25 or 30 deg or colder and snowing then you can brag. All these tarping videos on U Tube are nice easy and straight forward loads.

If the customer cared about stability they would have layed them down flat complete waste of trailor space 😂😂

We Americans must be stupid. The European standard is a special trailer that cradles the steel roller.

Este sr no sabe lo que a echo se está poniendo la guillotina al cuello

I like seeing the Maverick boat division trucks going found the road, that looks like more fun than messing with normal flatbed loads.

Why didn't you spread those chains apart further? If I eyeballed it correctly, the chain going to the back is about 50° from horizontal, so if you had to break hard, the tension on the chain would be about 1.55 times the force pointing forward. If you reduced the angle to 30°, it would be just 1.15 times.

Excuse my ignorance but what is a steel coil? Why couldn't they be loaded flat along the length of the truck and be more stable?

honestly these coils should have some kind of brace on top with chain going forward and backwards extra

I've been retired from trucking since 2007 yet operated flatbeds, drop decks and covered wagons. We use to refer to the eye to the side coils as "suicide, " for all obvious reasons and "shotgun" when the eye is in parallel with the length of the trailer.

I watched many of these coils unchained when I worked at a truck wheel manufacturer. Some trucks brought them in three coil in back, two in front. About 1/3 of the loads would come in leaning. I would watch drivers unchaining their loads. It would always make me nervous as they removed those chains. I saw several of these coils fall over and off the trailers. Our crane operator would hook the coils before the driver would take the last chains loose. Some trucks brought in a single coil weighting 45,000 lbs. Most trucks brought in five separate coils weighing about 7,200 lbs each. Most coils arrived with no tarp. One day we had over fifty loads come in.

No chains xing over top? btw, I drove for Maverick back in the 80s.

Knowledge is good.

Do you need to apply clutch when driving on automatic and you want to stop and do u use the clutch again when u take off?

Some shippers pay like $150 tarping and $150 unarping

What i sont like is all the coils and same another tipe.of loqd they are outside but once we load they want us to tarp, that make sense???

How you set your camera up like that

ah hell nah

Where are your panic stop chains? Coil(s) that heavy should have at least two.

In the old days back 20 yrs this would be illigal in cali... or west coast. Dot would say middle chains on suicide coils not considered a tie down..only rear chains pulling ba 7:26 ck and forward chains pulling forward nothing between 4x4 Or no 90 degrees only 45degrees or less ,and correct amount of chains pulling back and pulling forward....now i see guys putting straps on suicides😂

Did you carry 4,6 or 8 foot drops? Or maybe all? Could you use 8 foot drops on a short load, maybe just tuck it in?

Being a truck driver we never get paid enough for the hard work we put in.

What size is the chain you use to secure thay coil?

😊

"securement". ??? WTF. So we're just making up words are we? If your education had taught you something called grammar you might be able to speak English properly

Thanks for sharing 👍

Look at all those rusty chains holding that accident waiting to happen. As we all know, a chain is as good as it's weakest link. Watch what happens when this trucker slams on his air brakes. The chain will become shrapnel and the steel roll will crash into the truck cab killing Mr. Safe loaded truck driver. It's better to haul steel rolls flat, not standing tall like this load held in place by a couple of tooth picks. What a goofball trucker.

You probably should have kept your job at Walmart

MUY BUENO TU VIDEO Y LA EXPLICONES QUE IMPARTE POR ESTA VIA. SIGA PARALANTE, HERMANO

I hope that is grade 100 chain...make that grade 120

You're that one guy who complaints about anything. Mr George look what he's doing. Mr. George why he can do it Mr George. Cry cry cry 😭😭😭

I hauled steel coils for 17 years and transported all sorts of different steel products. Slitter coils aren’t too bad if you have them choked at the top like this guy did and you have enough cradle braces to support the weight and wood blocks directly under the coils. The worst load I’ve hauled was 3 tall skinny coils that were 22” wide, weighing 32,000 lbs each and loaded suicide. I put 4 chains through the eye of each coil and two leash chains from the top of each coil to the deck on each side to keep them from tipping sideways off my trailer in case of a swerve situation or just the inertia from a regular turn while driving. When I got them to where I was going, the receiver said I was the only guy he’s ever seen secure that load correctly and the only guy that didn’t deliver them with at least one ready to fall over!😳

Well done young man.

Should be in a semi truck period.

Cool.... why is the coil not over the wheels, either front or back?

I did flat bed.13 years.I make 30,000 a year MORE now I do dry box.flat bed is a scam.suiside is safer than shot gun.dot wants 8 chains on that.and you only hook to a chain.you do not hook to aluminum.I laugh at your mess.

THANKS GOOD 👍 JOB. SAFE TRUCKEN TO YA

Why not lay it on its flat side to haul it?… just curious.

I am trucking for 38 years and i have hauled countless loads of these steel coils , I caught this video and noticed from what I can see is that your two outer chains are not cross chained meaning forming a x pattern with the intersection in side the coil . By cross chaining you are less likely to ever have that coil come loose , I have seen coils loosen with the method you have . P.S. having the centre chain is good to use even in a cross chain configuration .

I hope that you stopped using stake pockets.

I don’t know, but I just prefer that ratchet binder over the snap ones. I think they’re safer, especially if you are on top of the trailer, a less chance of a slip and fall incident.

Extra straps never hurt anybody I'd rather have extra straps than not enough straps if one fails

So huge extremely super dangerous be careful while driving it can cause a disaster to innocent people around while carrying that thing. Can anyone predict how many trailer’s to over come the weights of that one steel coils?

Amazed that the coil was untarped. 😮. Not sure what advantages there are to an untarped load apart from saving a bit of hassel.

If there's an inkling of issues. Or ifnI feel uncomfortable. Forget it.

Hauled steel coils for 38 years never had problems but I don't like the chain set up and should be tarped if roads have salt on them

From. Canada. / I ‘ve. hauled. overLengh pipeline. Pipe. ( heavy. wall. , thicker. pipe). And. I thought. that. was. heavy. enough / And. I. agree. with. the. other comment. about. hauling. the steel. coil’s the. Law of. gravity. they. should. never be. hauled. at. that. height. ( on. a highboy. or. deck. trailer. ). they. should pass. a. Law. stating. that. all steel. coil’s should. only. be. transported. by. ( Low bed. or. float. trailer. ). tied. down. with. certain. weight chains. or. binders. and. covered by. tarps. and. this. would. apply. too truck. carrier’s. in. Canada. and. the. USA. and. get. more. information. out. too the. motoring. public these. tractor. - trailer. units. cannot. stop on. a dime ( meaning. need. Lots. of. road. distance. too stop ) And. understand. it’s. almost. suicide. for. the. truck. driver too suddenly apply. tractor. or. trailer. brakes. in. a split second. moment it. could. result in. someone. being. killed. or badly. injured. plus. the. truck. could. jack- knife. or. roll. anything. could. happen ( No. time. for. error. on. anyone’s. part ) have. a good. day. / And. keep those. units. driving. safely. on. the. highway’ s. not. in the. ditches

Why do you waste so many chains. Dble hook the chain on passenger side & than 2 binders on the driver's side. Fukn clowns

your chains are WRONG. and no blocking. should have a 4X4 under the front and rear of the coil. and NO chain should be less than a 45% angle or anchored to the same place. weight un known… looks like should be two pulling forward. and three pulling to the rear. NO straps allowed. pending the metal un tarped is ok on dry days. but NEVER drive down the road un tarped in the rain.
