You are one of the hardest working truckers I have seen on here. As long as it holds the load in place, there is nothing wrong with the way you tie it down. Don't worry about the haters. They are just showing their ignorance and jealousy.

Howdy Chris, When you were talking about tying down that Deere loader I noticed that there is a stamp on the counter weight at the back of the machine that instructs to use that point. As far as using the pivot latch, and for the small distances you travel, I would imagine that you would be safe. But, something to consider is that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Ultimately your decision as you are the driver and sole person in charge. Stay safe!

Hahahahhaha love the Elevator music

Gotta get fonz to run the one stack Mack, seems like he really enjoys that kind of work

Hardest working man on KZfaq. Keep the content comin!

Mate in one ear and out the other. You keep on rocking just as your are and bollock's too the keyboard warrior's.

The DRIVER rules. End of story.

Well they must be upset they can’t pull with a beautiful Pete, everyone is different as long as you are comfortable with it is all it matters 👊🇺🇸🇺🇸

Hey Chris …. Rob from Toronto …. That car wash has 1300 reviews and they are basically All 5 star. Apart from the music there is also a pretty cool light show. Not sure how close you are to this location, but perhaps take the “burb” through.

Hello Chris , love your videos bud. I wanted to say I never set the trailer brakes when detaching the neck unless I’m dropping the trailer completely. Maybe give it a try. I see you always forget to push the brake knob when you’re detaching. Just wanted to share my technique. Have a great day sir.

Where I’m at, technically, if you don’t use the frame lock,you are supposed to have 4 points on both the front half of the loader and same for the back half of the loader, as well as the bucket chained down, but when I did heavy haul, I pretty much did it the way you do, don’t let the haters bug you, just not worth it

It was probably your buddy commenting that in the white truck that tells you can't park there. He's a professional.

The Red bar keeps the machine from swaying back and forth going down the road keep it from turning but if you're only going 10 minutes down the road I wouldn't worry about it

I’m sure the way you’ve been chaining down is more than enough, at the end of the day as long as you’re confident with your securement & DOT doesn’t have any issues with it then just send it! No need to change it up. Like you said, If you’re going across state lines then maybe I can see the need for more chains, but for the most part you’re local, I can tell you the lowboy guys I used to work with do it pretty much identical to how you do it, and there has never been an issue 🤷🏻 Keep doing what you’re doing Chris! As always stay safe brother 🤙🏼

Have a great day. I am with you about caining down.

I think he’s talking about running a chain through the articulation point. That’s how I was tought.

Part of where you're tying it down is by the frame so I think he's misspelling or misspeaking

I guess if you were taking the truck and trailer around a banked oval race track , a frame lock would be in order.

I've said it before on other channels I watch and I'll say it here It's your truck your trailer you pay the truck payment and the insurance along with that trailer it's your heavy haul business you don't need to be schooled or critiqued on how you run your business or load equipment

It is just a safety device , some haulers use them and some do not .

Good Job 💪

The only way that's articulating is if you roll over. And then you got bigger things to worry about.

Not necessarily your getting it done 🤙🏽

DOT can get you for not having that articulation lock in place. Take that as you will. For what it's worth, I don't pin that crap either lol tie down 4 corners and roll🤷‍♂ If DOT wants to get you on something, they'll get you regardless.

Good morning

Don't know about Florida but here in Indiana, anything articulate that can be locked better be. DOT loves to look for that. One thing I know for sure. There is nothing lazy about you.

I hope this once you put your fenders on that you don't keep forgetting to raise up the neck brace on the trailer. That neck brace can wreck a set of fenders QUICK.

Are you interested in a light load run from San Antonio, Tx to Bunnell, Fl?

You are hard working no dispute there but according to fmcsr any machine that articulates must be secured on all four corners of the front of the unit and rear unit unless it is equiped with a mechanical locking device. The only thing i dislike about drivers is to make a statement that I'm only going 10 miles! Accidents can happen at anytime and if you cause injuries those lawyers for the plaintiff will have a field day with you in court. And the dot will be right behind. Your right though people should be nice about giving their opinions. Be safe ! And cover your ass against the money grabbers. You should have a small green book with the fmcsr's in the truck.(its required)

Little hard on the gloves when you run over them with a roller

I can't believe you got that comment got to love the haters though much as I hate they still watch

Ordering a new 589 (I know), but what color green is that?
