The Full Coil Securement Almost

[@MrZluvu4ever]

Finally a video of how coils are placed on a flatbed! Thanks!

[@DaleLClay]

No problem

[@brandonmurray2858]

I was just in Delta picking up some slitted coils, really nice truck stop next door. LOL.

[@DaleLClay]

There are some real beauties out there.

[@stevenherrera1679]

Good one Dale like to see how you secure those coils down......

[@DaleLClay]

+Steven Herrera Thanks, glad you liked it. Though it did not capture everything.

[@stevenherrera1679]

+Dale Clay So theres another in the future possibly....

[@DaleLClay]

Steven Herrera Anythings possible

[@stevenherrera1679]

+Dale Clay Roger that.....

[@kyeice]

Interesting video today dale,amazing how much steel gets transported around,nice easy load just one coil.keep safe friend.

[@DaleLClay]

Yep just one easy 49 thousand pound coil.

[@DaleLClay]

+Juan n0aaa, for some reason it won't let me reply directly to your comment. it weighted approximately 49 thousand pounds.

[@janaaj1an889]

Thanks. That was interesting. Loading and securing. How much does it weigh?

[@brianlongenberger5279]

Great Video Dale, on load securment, Thank you :)

[@DaleLClay]

No problem

[@donwhittaker8250]

Loading in NY year ago with another driver and he came Down on a binder and he didn't get it all the way down and up it came and totally messed him up. To this day I refuse to use that kind of binder

[@DaleLClay]

I understand, I stay away from them once they are set. Pop them from a distance.

[@rmack48]

Does Maverick ever send trucks into Canada? I don't think that I ever seen one up here.

[@DaleLClay]

Yes, I think it's just glass and the specialized division .

[@DaleLClay]

I believe so, but I don't recall how much.

[@rescuepanther]

+Edward Hamilton It's $40 to take a load into Canada which is easy money because the broker usually does all the paperwork for you. Maverick doesn't pay extra to bring a load back into the US.

[@po6600]

Need to be able to see you chain it 😭😭😭😭

[@28-boy]

Maybe next time you should record how you secure the chains?? Like upclose not far lol still nice video like always 🚛

[@DaleLClay]

Nice, truck emote.

[@juanl4382]

just wanted to let you know that I'll be going solo Saturday. Keep an eye out on that paycheck lol

[@DaleLClay]

Woot, I will, and thank you for remembering me as a referral.

[@DavidKornrumpfII]

which do you prefer, shot gun or eyes sideways, i like the later bc you can throw a strap threw the center to tie the coil down for up and down motion, then throw on your chains after that

[@DaleLClay]

I like shotgun, because Guns are awesome. Also, I don't like the term suicide coil. I think the eye to the side is faster to secure, but I feel safer with the eye to the front.

[@DaleLClay]

Yes, but sometimes it's based on how the cosignee is able to unload the product.

[@richardhutto8636]

Dale do you pass through north and south Carolinal much? n n

[@DaleLClay]

Every once and a while. Not to often since it's on the outskirts of my region.

[@josegarza4786]

trying to find a video that shows from start to finish. from putting the right equipment on the deck to securing. please help

[@DaleLClay]

for coils?

[@josegarza4786]

yes

[@DaleLClay]

+jose garza I personally don't have one yet. I rarely see other trucker videos show what they load. Sorry I couldnt help for now.

[@leonytigre]

What was the weight of that coil

[@DaleLClay]

My guess since I am not looking at the video, between 40,000 and 45,000 thousand pounds.

[@paulpatterson7368]

no trip chain?

[@DaleLClay]

Battery ran out on the camera, as it did catch me almost forgetting the straps over the top. Just not enough juice in the camera to show me pulling all the tarps off to put the coil block and chain. I hate having to move the truck part way through securment, it always throws my game off.

[@paulpatterson7368]

OK good deal

[@williamlamet3854]

What happened to juliet [ Romeo Mi ]

[@DaleLClay]

It died, it's next to Detroit, so it's all heading into the toilet.

[@MrTrucker771]

Good video sir

[@DaleLClay]

Thank you Mountain sir.

[@paulwicklund1052]

Why did you have to tarp this load, All the coils sit outside in the rain,and on muddy gravel.

[@DaleLClay]

This one has been through their oil processing. Plus they paid to have it tarped. It's funny though, some places pull them off and stick them in the mud. It seems strange sometimes, and other times they are hyper crytical that the coil is tarped, and only untapped under covered protection.

[@johnmabry9328]

8 ft drop or 6ft tarp?

[@DaleLClay]

Steel, which are 6 ft drop I believe. My lumber tarps are 8 ft.

[@1amigo550]

Lol😭🤣🤣🤣 That is not the right way to load that coil. Lol😂😂😂😂
