Note- I almost always use wheel straps for Vehicles. I used chains for this due to I picked it up where I dropped off the previous cargo so I already had the chains & binders out.

Link to the Tie down requirements from the FMCSA Website is below.

www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/cargo-securement/car…

The Rule for Vehicles and heavy equipment over 10k falls under 393.130 and 393.128

The information about the binder losing working load limit can be found under section "minimum working load limit for cargo securement devices and systems"

    This is GOLD! I came here enraged by another tutorial, that says the what, but don't tell ya the why?!, He said always leave the binder in ' Tightening position' and thats it. Thanks to this amazing Man, I now understand why i should keep the switch to tighten position. This Man tells you the what, why and how, no stones left unturned! I grateful for that ! Thanks a lot!

    Thank you. I move a JD5205 tractor occasionally via a trailer and this helped me understand what I need to be safe.
  • @geoffg5024
    I like how you connected the binder directly to the trailer. This makes sense to me, but rarely see anyone doing it this way.

    Very helpful and well explained. Will be buying ratchet binders and chains tomorrow. Have to tie down my TYM 494 onto a gooseneck trailer. Bought the trailer today.

    Good stuff bro. I’m learning how to do hotshot. I pray it goes well for me. I’ve subscribed thanks for your help. I’ve learned how to use straps and how to unstrap cargo so far just haven’t learned how to use binder chains but this helps a lot. I’m a little nervous but I’m willing to do challenges and learn as I go on this new journey.

    Always tighten towards you so when you leave it it’s on the opposite side resting on trailer not towards edge of trailer
