I used to do a lot of crane work, I was a driver/rigger for Bragg Crane Service in Sweetwater,Tx. Those crane mats are very heavy, we normally hauled 6 mats at a time for a step deck.
Yeah brother. I run my side to side pull straps the same. Seems best to keep from sliding without chocks on the 4X’s. Also, what’s the tallest tarps you run?
Yeah! Randees back, What Up Doe? its alright we dont need jose in the videos anymore anyway lmao he was cool tho. Keep the vids coming bro but good to see you back my mans
+Bill Long go back and have the shipper move top later forward to spread the weight or get over weight permit for the states ur going thru which is what I almost ended up doing but couldn't wait on them to come in so I checked the weigh stations were closed and just ran it there which was big chance to take but I made it ok
Live and learn.. how much are over weight tickets these days? Keep em turning.. thank you for posting...look forward to the next, maybe a trailer tour?

You could use some shackles for that load and you won't have to remove your hooks from your chains just to run your chains through
Nice job on the chains!
