Thank you gpc, that pic was taken when things were going good and right after I had done a wash and wax on it. Now the truck doesn't look so good from sitting. I normally do very little rock hauling with it, it's mostly used for moving equipment.

How obscure...Thanks (I think) GPC.
That's bizarre! Now I have to re-think some of my load securement or risk some DOT zealot busting me for this. I wonder what the logic is behind this? What does it matter it a binder secures a piece directly (direct contact) or not? Would a hook and two links of chain make that much difference? |

(1) this section is saying from deck to object is 1/2 WLL. trailer-binder-object 1/2 (2) this section says from deck, over, around, or though and back to the same side of deck is also 1/2 WLL driver side trailer - chain - object- chain- binder- driver side 1/2 (3) this says driver side over, though or around object to passenger side is Full WLL left side -chain- object- chain- right side Full Wll Here's a pic I drew of 1, 2 and 3. 1 and 2 are considered direct securement. 3 is indirect securement. 1 and 2 are directly pulling on the object, which are not putting and equal force downward on the object. 3 is indirectly pushing down on the object. It is doing more work then 1 and 2 therefore it gets full WLL. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...securement.jpg |
Jorlee, that is what I was trying to say but, I think your pictures explain it better. Thanks.

It helps when it was explained to me, as direct and indirect, inside a scale house. He was nice enough to draw me a picture to explain what he ment. Put me OOS for exceeding WLL, and let the tires with cords showing slide. Slapped some more binders on, and away down the road I went. The first thing they see in the scale are lights, and your securement. Because of him, I over kill on securement, and make damn sure my tires are good, in the spring, no less than 4/32nds for me anywhere on the rig.
