You make me want to come work with you guys. Been driving 17 years running flatbed and you already fixed a ton of my bad habits. Thank you for making me a better driver and I only watched two of your videos.

Thanks for the informative video. I know it was a quick run down but I feel as if I need to watch this a few times. Really Looking to move stacked chassis and for the most part tried looking for some place out of Chicago to teach and train but no luck. Even if I offered to pay for the knowledge I got nowhere. Really appreciate the video now to hopefully find something out of Chicago to get some practice before I consider taking these kind of loads. Safety is priority. Update with recent videos because I'm sure mire people are interested in doing this and doing it right. Thanks

Thanks again . I have my first stacked trailer load From Cali to Denver was nervous about securement I see some drivers only use straps ..I would not be comfortable driving with only straps on this load .

@Joe-pd9hj Жыл бұрын

I've picked up brand new trailers loaded like this and been told straps only. Never had a problem. Also didn't take me 6 hours to secure like Western with their 80 chains and straps.

@saikumarnair8415 Жыл бұрын

I have used only straps, 13 of them and transported them from Texas to Canada without any issues. Straps holds just fine.

The straps CC are supposed to be on the inside of the rub rail!

Other Western Express videos also show stuff outside the rub rail. Looks like that's just the way they do things there.

hook the chain hook to the stake pocket it will stay in place that way

@daveclark8726 Жыл бұрын

You put the second chain under the first and it now will touch the first chain.

@metalmetz Жыл бұрын

Great video. Thanks for sharing! Rookie question: Is it legal to wrap the flat hook around the rub rail if the starps are supposed to stay inside the rail? If something hits the side of the trailer that the hooks are on, won't it cut the straps?

@fleetwoodu812 Жыл бұрын

Dot changed regulation. You no longer have to have behind the rubrail but in my opinion your crazy if you drive with it outside of it. This man here shows you how to do it the right way.

DOT doesn’t require wheels to be chalked,Haul plenty of these.Wheels already chalked,

@AB-mg5sx 3 жыл бұрын

Why is it that this video shows chains being put on but that other video the guy only put straps, is it preference?

@Bendigo1 2 жыл бұрын

It is a matter of weight rating and securing from movement. Straps usually have lower weight rating so requires more straps. And chains are still required on front and back in an x.

@robertallred2368 3 жыл бұрын

I believe that the DOT says that a chain can't be worn by 20%.

@wastatephotography4309 4 ай бұрын

Whats the legal limit of how many chassis you can stack onto another chassis? What about how many chassis on a flatbed? Thanks,

Seems to me western express really likes to damage stake pockets, every chain video the chains are secured at the pockets, why?

How do they get them up there

@countryfan0133 Жыл бұрын

Some people use a crane or a wrecker but I just back one trailer into a loading dock, back the other on top of that one, and then put another trailer in the loading dock and back the double stack onto it to make a triple.

Depends on the trailer. WE teaches it...and if DOT hated it they’d change it.

@isai267 2 жыл бұрын

wrong. No twist on the straps

@MrRipcord01 Жыл бұрын

Wrong, you can have one half twist on each side, only a half twist. On taller loads that stops the straps from fluttering or slapping against the load. That is in fact 100 percent legal, the straps will also maintain their tension.

@tomkennedy5956 3 ай бұрын

To be a professional you should know you don't hook your straps on your rub rails

@wayneevans8484 4 ай бұрын

So many things wrong with this video it’s incredible. Chain hooks should point up, NEVER down! DOT requires at least a thumbs width of thread left when done tightening for adjustment when traveling. I had to stop watching because of all the mistakes

@Almiighty_Q 12 күн бұрын

how will the hooks point upwards if the chain is routed completely downward? Honest question. Are you saying just put the hook on the stake pocket upward (no teardrop?) Because it’s no way you can do a right side up teardrop to a chain that’s routed entirely downward.
