Brakes are a little touchy, Guess I shouldn't have adjusted them so tight.

I've caught 3 on my dashcam this month.

One hauling wrong:

...and two towing wrong.

First was an S10 blazer with a Subaru outback on a car hauler. Snow falling and WAY too much tongue weight. Not a good combo...

Second was another S10 blazer, not overloaded, but both safety chains connected to absolutely nothing just dragging the ground:

What I like to do when loading my CUT is to chain the front end and back up 'til the front tires squash a bit, set the brakes and proceed to chain down the rear thus needing only one binder.
Naturally chains are all hooked to a solid trailer attach point.
Another 'must' is to hook to that point with hook on top and looped back so that if the chain loosens the hook can't fall free.
When I chain the rear I always do so in an 'X' fashion.

Hint: if you are afraid of scratching that nice CUT, get some old fire hose and slip sections of hose chain where it that make contact with the tractor.

Sometimes I use the one binder method but I’ve heard it’s against dot regulation.

Let me change ya'alls lives....

3,300 lb working, 10,000 lb breaking strength axle straps out of Ohio for $3.99 each....

No more scratched paint.

You can all thank me by sending me cases of Corona Light in bottles and fresh limes.

That place is the cheapest place I’ve found for chain and binders. I think I paid $25 for a 20’ 5/16 chain grade 70 and $36 for a 3/8 20” grade 70 and $29 for 9,000 WILL binders. Shipping was a little high but still cheaper overall than other places.

What's wrong with this one? Oh wait - you think the guy in the bed is an issue? I have known this man for years, and can assure you that Mr. Ray "Chet" Straaps is the perfect man for the job!

That is how you get to the hospital when you have the wrong health insurance. Tow truck - $100 - ambulence several thousand dollars.
