He makes it look easy!those chains and binders are heavy!

[@mbekka1]

it is easy, it s not rocket science

[@goatse01]

Just got a heavy haul job. The training is less than desired but its a great opportunity to learn. Thanks for sharing this video and information

[@mbekka1]

which company ?

[@MrTupalkata]

Which one?

[@scraphaulin]

So many people need to be educated on direct and indirect securement...not just what the book says....but what it actually means

[@goatse01]

Elaborate. I'd like to learn. Thanks

[@lawrencemacdonald-yz4vn]

Exactly alot of truckers understand you lose 50 percent of wwl of your chain if chained back to the same side of the trailer.You get 100 percent if going across the entire trailer this is direct and indirect tiedowns means.

Good video , one important thing that wasn’t didn’t mention, but was quickly flashed on the chart, is the chain grade rating , transport chains have to be grade 7 or better . The grade will be stamped on every 4th - 6th link , on old, well used chains it maybe hard to see without your glasses 🤓…. Also ….when tying any piece of equipment down , make sure the tie down chain isn’t anywhere near a brake line, brake pot, water line , oil line , or radiator …. Lesson learned the hard way 😮

[@rickhoro]

That is some serious s--t! Well done and good video!

The strongest tied down is the shortest tie down. Most of the time crossing your chains means a longer tied down.

[@londonacheronti4768]

Ya exactly lol, never understood why guys do that

[@blakemirabito9563]

Physics…

[@hottweld]

You cross chains to pull both sides, not everybody has short chains on them have to use what you have​@londonacheronti4768

[@Northwoodscamper45]

Get a height stick, and gloves , keep that steering wheel clean. Nice job Mr Cahill

[@jamesdaple9951]

He made it all look easy

[@frednewman2162]

Don't you have to chain both sides of the articulating joint, unless it has a locking bar?

[@hectortherealtor8562]

Right on!!!

[@abikerinpa]

Boy that trainer is being to nice “ the operator was too tired to clean the machine off” …… you mean “ the operator was too dam lazy to clean the machine off “ 😎🍺♥️

[@wcox4]

Why didn't you all use the outriggers?? Just wondering. Great informative video.

[@stephensnoke8658]

If 51% of base is on trailer then outriggers are not required

[@wcox4]

@@stephensnoke8658 Thanks for answering my question. I was just wondering.

[@stephensnoke8658]

No worries. Plus there is no direct dot law about using them. Most of us don't because they are a pain

[@RussianMishka100]

Loading such a crocodile is really impressive.

[@philhall7400]

Never saw you eliminate articulation pinning both frames together, might need gloves.

[@gilbertfxcircle]

hello if i get a job to drive the low boy trailers am i the one who is supposed to drive and load all those heavy machines or for me i just drive my trailer and to tie those machine s

[@goatse01]

Always be willing to learn. Knowledge is priceless, if you don't need to, ASK if you can.... put that experience on your resume for your next job when you start making the real money with that experience 💰

[@polizach72]

lol yes and you will also clean track because the operators won’t

[@mikesmart1708]

Most equipment these days require the exhaust pipe to be covered

[@StevenDec13]

What size are those chains @2:55???

[@aloha-rob]

They look like 1/2”

[@TheKpanic666]

Where are oversize flags and signs?

[@scraphaulin]

Crossing your chains, the why he did, does NOT get you the full WLL of the chain/binder.

[@jasonrockecharlie4930]

Where are your gloves, in side of truck must be filthy

[@GraceEngineering]

Because touching the tires magically makes the machine good to haul.

[@handyandy8671]

should have used outriggers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@princediamond5763]

💯✌️

[@jeff7764]

Put some gloves on bro

[@johncallander886]

My thoughts exactly

[@nielsvanhulten6177]

Worthless information, first pick up the trailer and then secure the chains.

[@blakemirabito9563]

GFYM

[@thollins6582]

Mannnnn NOT USING THOSE OUTRIGGERS WILL GET U RAN OFF. TO EACH HIS OWN.

[@johnwiesner6534]

Not to mention that he had more than 50% of the tire off the trailer which is flat out against the law. But maybe he should run a customers machines off and rip up the sidewall so that he could a valuable lesson.

[@Bossman_da_trucker]

I was just saying dam no outriggers lol😂

[@Livefree902]

@@johnwiesner6534there’s is no outrigger law stupid lol

[@timpattydaechsel5988]

@johnwienser6534 ….any machine on rubber operating in a rock quarry’ , gravel pit and blasting site will have tires with pretty beefy sidewalls for obvious reasons , grader tires sidewalls are fairly wimpy though

[@Siggydawg]

@@johnwiesner6534 Bs , we run yukes day in and day out and don’t need the outriggers , you have more than half tire in the belly ,,, all the comments from none actual haulers just a dam joke anymore ,,, just stop 🛑 KZbin attorneys at best anymore , Fukn wannabes , 😂
