[@ni1469]

I’ve had 2 inspections that could have placed me out of service…I had the replacement parts in the truck minus the harness I was waiting on or could point out what parts were still on back order causing lights to be on and got no citations. One of the inspections was at a scale after picking up screws in a drive tire, it was still on the bead and hissing so provable it wasn’t low when I pre tripped and within 5 min I found the holes to plug them. Having an attitude proving you actually pay attention to and care about your equipment being safe and immediately being concerned with correcting an issue vs sitting in the truck waiting for the officer to finish a ticket

[@PhilRable]

“I want the equipment to go home safe, I want the operator to go home safe and I want the motoring public to go home safe”. That’s why the world needs more Officer Hoovers guarding the castle walls so we can sleep safe in our beds.

[@JBullock54]

I don’t know if I missed it by chance, but something else important that is worth mentioning is that if you install new grab hooks on a chain, the WLL of the hooks will be your new number, no matter what the chain WLL is. Just something worth knowing, because hooks need replaced sometimes

I watched this video for nostalgia sake. Are used to run dozers and excavators on the Oregon coast 25 years ago. The rental yard I drove for an old bread wagon tractor, dragging around the lower deck ramp back. The tiedown chains, and binders were nothing like this. The cheater bar that I had to use to set those binders could slip off. One time It did, knocked me out, and almost broke my jaw. This new technology is awesome. I’m glad you guys are staying safer out there.

[@alittlebitofeverything5090]

Nice job. The only precaution about an extra chain or extra strap is that if the strap or chain falls within the parameters as defective or it is loose, even though you didn't need it, it is a violation.

[@m16ty]

If the defective chain is really a "extra" chain and you have enough other good chains to meet the legal requirements, the defective chain isn't a violation. Hoover said as much in the video, that's why he advises extra chains, so if one is loose or otherwise defective you have enough other chains to meet the requirement.

I worked for an outfit right out of truck driving school. After a month, they told me to take a low boy and go pick up a loader. When I asked for another driver to go with me to show me how to operate the low boy, how to put the equipment on and chain it down, they refused. I refused to do it. The senior driver took the load, and had to slam on his brakes. One of the chains broke, the loader slammed into the goose neck and cracked it. He still works there, I don’t.

[@dodgedude101]

If the load is properly secured it should not move, it is bad to hear that his load moved an caused damage which no driver ever wants. Taking a load that you never done before is a learning curve an good experiance to have. When i did the 988k on beams i was nerves but i over chained it alot so i flet safe an secured.
