Watch to the end of the video, at the end he shows using a ratchet that has a chain going through the front stake pocket.

Yes, but hooking the hook back to the chain is asking for trouble. He should drop the chain through then put the hook on the top of the stake pocket.

He used a locking grab hook. Probably like this. It may be safer than the hook on the pocket method.

I have been using wheel straps for 15 years. They work great on low cars and really hold the car securely allowing the car to ride on it's own suspension. My late brother rose up the ranks (driver to load make-up to safety/training manager) of a company that delivers new cars to dealers, they probably had 700 semis. He supplied me with my first wheel straps, the ones that they used for high end sports cars. For his personal trailer he had one custom made using tie down chains from one of their trailers with the ratchet winder built into the deck like the big boys. He could load or unload his 340 Dart at the dragstrip in about 1 minute.
