Short Chaining
At SPD we want to elevate ALL flatbedders to be the best and safest they can be and the best way to do that is with education. Short chaining is half art half science but our very own Gonzalo C breaks it all down in a nice easy-to-remember manner. Just remember to never saddle a dead horse ;)

Ratchet binders I find are better
Gonzalez Sarah Harris Richard Moore Donna
Get some ratchet binders, makes it a lot more efficient
Eff that, when I run flat bed, the customers had to pay $100 charge for a tarpping job and that was in the late 70s witch would be in today's money around $250. Not all but most would decline the charge.
Incorrect! Axles, drums and tires. You're not to calculate the static weight of the axles in witch the air bags don't support. To be more accurate one would have to deduct the weight of the suspension. My guess would be, subtract around 3000 to 3500lbs, then use your calculation. 10-4?
With all do respect: Don't block airflow but have tools you will need to do the job. In my truck i have all the "extras" needed (bulbs, fuses, rear o/s light..etc in a box, oversize equipment, ratchet bar, coil racks, a big bag of needed tools, oil, coolant, windshield wiper fluid, items to pad under straps/chains, 2" straps, extra 4" straps, & extra edge protectors. Like engineers, in theory, it sounds good on "paper" but you cant leave thise spaces "clear" or else you don't have what you need for the job. Personally, once my trucks no-idle shutdown temp gets raised to 100⁰, i will give it a week. I just want you guys to remember, you're messing with safety if this fails. We absolutely must have our sleep. I know everyone sleeps at different temps & you have to balance cost/profit but at what cost to the driver.
Does this place have a limit on dog size?
60 lbs
@@spdtrucking well crap
😂 I'll take your 360 call to discuss this
Where did you get 10,000 from
God I wish I could work for these guys. I got my app in but I'm just a first year I just coming up off of my first year of trucking over the road they probably will never take me
NEVER say never! Get your one year OTR and six months of flatbed then let's talk!
@@spdtrucking I've got my one year of OTR just over a year. Add flatbed well I think I have to wait another 2 months before another company will hire me for flatbed but it's all good
I'm familiar with the expression with clamping wire rope but not chain. Please explain what you mean by not saddling a dead horse.
Great job, miss working for yall, in life you've to grow.
Were you able to gross $2k per week on average?
It's funny that it was tarped backwards.
Check Chubby draws after that last pull😂
Needs some chrome or carbon fiber accent trim. I suggest the walcott t/a or petro in joplin
What length bungees do you use
I believe they were 12" or 16"
If you’re not really a fan of tarping get into stepdeck.. still have to tarp just not as much the other side of that coin is you got to set up ramps and they are heavy
Great video. Thank you
When you gave half a link and closed the binder by hand, that was the correct chain tension. When you took half a link and proudly reefed the binder closed you over tighten the binder effectively rendering your tie down useless. Understanding working load limit and how that works in conjunction with mechanical tie downs devices you will realize overnighting chain is not only dangerous but lessen the effectiveness of you tie down.
'Over tightening lessens the effectiveness' Can you elaborate on this please?
Amazing knowledge 😎
Or go spend $110 on a Right Weigh analog gauge to replace the PSI gauge and take the guess work out of it. 😁
Do flatbed drivers get paid more than container drivers
In most cases, yes, due to having to know load securement and the physical requirements of the job.
👍🏻 🎉Now Big Danny you can hire me back 🦅🇺🇸
Gracias Genioooooo...
