I appreciate an officer who takes the time to explain and educate on the rules and regulations. It's safer and just downright friendlier. Thank you Sir.
I second that!
@@amr8457 I third that!! 🙃
Love this guy. Not trying to be Rambo, instead he's trying to educate. Great attitude!
30yr cdl a driver here.... 15yrs heavy haul .... just want to say this is a great video... I see a lot of guys out there running dirty and unsafe... a lot of companies don't take the time to train properly because they themselves don't know the regulations..... BTW 3/4 in tear on a 4in strap put you out of service....
Thanks for your time and the DOT officer time , it’s nice to learn how to be safe and legal . Thanks a lot to both of you 🙏🙏🙏
Has someone that's new to it I greatly appreciate it
I'm on the other side studying for a cdl permit. Ty for this video it really helps
Your videos are concise and packed with information-thank you for taking the time to do this
Another great video guys. I am not moving equipment, but I love learning and both of you do a great job clearly explaining everything! Awesome.
Thanks to both of you I am getting ready to get into school in about 2 months there's already quite a bit that I have learned previous to becoming a class a driver with my own loads etc but I did learn things today much appreciation to both of you and I am considering ultimately trying to make the most money either using step decks or lowboys to haul the big toys and make the most money thank you again.
Thank you guys so much for going over all this . This could save lives and save tickets .
Thanks for taking time and not making it difficult to understand.. wish everyone was like you..
Thank you for the valuable advice..
Great video. It’s nice to see officers who are helpful and will take the time to talk to you. Thanks!
Thank hou so much for taking the time to inform and educate us.
Hey Guys! Thanks a lot for covering this topic. I saw people making bad mistakes over and over again. Stay Safe.
Invaluable information! I just got my CVOR going and I gotta walk the line .
Thx
This was great. Been driving for years but not over the road.
Great video, thank you and thanks to the officer, grateful for the information shared 🙏
Great guy to learn or update from. Thank you Officer!
Tell dot we love them and thanks for making the roadway safe.
Thanks to both of you guys! Very helpful video!
Thank you for both parties soo incredibly helpful . Good way to keep from getting viloatons/tickets . THANk YOU !!
I have never been put out of service for a loose chain. Most officers understand that they can work loose traveling and just have you tighten it up. Been pulled over for a loose chain and personally I’m glad they did so I can fix the problem. Safer for everyone that way.
Great video. Thanks
Thank you for doing this video. Great info!
hey thank you . great cop inspector . even wears his mandatory vest, please give him a hug...
Fixing my violation right now. Thank you.
Thank you, this video was really helpful.
Thx a lot to both of you! Great help!
Thanks for the information. awesome video answered all of my questions
Fantastic simple instructions 👏
Thank you and stay safe 🙏
Thanks gentlemen, very helpful.
Great job all around boys ! 👍🏼
This was very, very veeeery useful video. Thank you and to officer for all those information
Thanks for the knowledge
This is actually incredibly interesting to hear about and learn how safety is being implemented. Some people may think this is the government being overbearing but its stuff like this that saves lives.
Government is not in business to save lives
To an extent there making the trucking industry more dangerous electronic logs are 1 of many things that make it worse
How many lives has government cost due to inefficiency and regulations? Privatize all roads and have competing road ways. Their incentive will be to be as safe as possible for their consumers. How many lives have been taken by potholes not filled by the government?
@@Larrybird1980 well for starters e longs it forces the driver to push harder to make the deadline does not alow time for a nap if the driver gets tire were paper logs do truck accidents increased with the mandates how about they will shut a truck down for a couple of psi low on 1 tire but that bine head that cut the truck off gets away scot free and if the truck hits him it's the trucks falt because he cannot stop I drive a 160,000 pound 11 axle gravle train it does not stop on a dime laws r not enforsed on cars like they should be that gets people killed there too would u like me to continue
@@Larrybird1980 and look at how they come up with the hours of service they look at college students and take a general sleep schedule from them its not a 1 size fits all deal your sleeping habits r different from mine I'm not saying all laws r bad infant on tie-down laws I think there too easy on them take a flatbed for example it's 1 strap every 8 feet enough for half the weight of the load do u consider that safe I don't what if a strap breaks iv had it happen before that load can still come off
great information, thank you so much!
Thank, you for sharing this video
Awesome video.
my dude, excellent
Wow this was really solid info i did not know all these rules and i run heavy haul 😢 Canada wide but the rules are probably very similar
Awesome!
Great info here
This was nice.
Thanks for sharing.
Great video
This is helpful.
That was good stuff
I'd rather secure the backhoe implement in the down/tied down position rather than in the locked upright position on a trailer just for the additional clearance alone, and many backhoes even locked sway pretty good just driving down the road without a trailer. But good to know the option is there.
Hey dirt perfect, you should have talked about the subject of dirt on the tracks or in-between the lugs on the roller.
Man I love this video I do heavy haul and this helped me understand working load limits and how much weight you need to tie down. I do machine 80,000 pounds and yeah. I could show you some crazy stuff we do wrong and I might be showing it on my channel soon as well
They aren’t are 80,000 but yeah one is
i like how you responded to your posting!@@TexasBestLowboy
I miss Brent's videos.. haven't seen one in a while
Nice.. great job.. would they have this kind of person in North Dakota?
Heavy haul company i haul for we use 1/2" good for 11 300lbs
Some tandem trucks have a couple 3/8 chain but hardly use them
The tri drive trucks have 1/2" chains with 9200lb an 13 000lb binders
Please make basic tracto´s lesson for beginners and some savety tips thanks in advance for the good job.
Exactly
Good info thks
Great information. My machine is under 10k but I still like to put three chains on it for safety. Thank you for the information on this video.
15:07 an important note to add to this very informative session is when using straps is to pay attention to the color of the red line. It indicates the age and wear of the strap.
The less red there is in the strip in the middle indicates the strap is no longer at its rated strength. So when they start looking pink time to get rid of them.
Edit: I spelled wear wrong
Nice
Thats so funny just last year i was working on the bridge in illinois 500 yards west of there
Are speed binders DOT approved?
Tip to remember, the rub rail on many trailers only have a 5020 or 5700 pound WLL, therefore you would only have 50% of 5020 or 5700 pounds.
Where do you find that information
There is no WLL on rub rails. This is one reason FMCSA would not allow securement on rub rails. Which was quick rescinded.
Alright so say I have a piece of machinery, it has grab handle type tie down points on the front and rear, if I run a single chain thru both points and x to each side with a Binder on each corner, do I qualify for the 4 points and the full WLL of my chain and binders?
Golden , Mahalo
Where do I find all the information
I have a question, and don’t have FB. If you were to move something like 2 scissor lifts side by side, if you ran 1 chain through both, on each end/front and back, each lift weighs 6500lbs but are they technically considered as over 10,001lbs and now require the 4 corners? Or would the chain, being that it’s 1 chain straight across on each end would get you your 100%WLL and you’d be securing over 100% of the weight of the lifts combined, how would that work? Thanks!
Great video. Can anyone out there please recommend an American company that makes all their securement product here in the US. Searched and searched online every time a site advertises just that when I read descriptions they mite have American binders but not American made chain or something along those lines. Bored of DV in the market for flatbed and trying to outfit with quality products but I refuse to use Chinese chain or binders.
Is it illegal to use a 2 inch strap over a 305 cap bucket or is a chain preferred
i dont know what that tractor weighs, but if it is over 22700Lbs here in north western Ont you can not use straps to tie it down, i learned the hard way some 15 years ago, after using straps for 15 years and never had been stopped, but one day i rented a 6500Lb mini ex and put it on me trailer, and used 2 chain, grade 90 deck chain, witch is minimum, here and it must be gold in color and 2 binders on the 2 back corners, and 2 4 foot long 2" wide 5,000Lb straps one on each front corner and a 5,000 strap over the bucket, i got pulled over by the MTO AND FINED FOR USING STRAPS i was told the strap over the bucket was fine, but they cant be used as a main holding, you must have al goldd color #90 chain, ether 5/16, 3/8. 1/2" 5/8" depending on load weight.. i see mr DP dont have nothing in the center of that roller. here if you run a main chain from one side of the trailer to the other over the load, you must have a binder on each side, as the chain can snag and have little tension on the other side, also here your trailer total weight cant be over 10.000Lbs unless you have a class A license, a G, D, B license the trailer cant be over 10,000. what i hate here is the MTO PEOPLE MALE OF FEMALE WILL NOT TELL YOU ANY THING, UNTIL THEY FINE YOU FOR IT. or plates off on site.. . . WHEN I CHANGED MY TRUCK OVER FROM COMMERCIAL plated to farm plated, i stopped at the scales to ask, now that i have farm plates on my truck, do i still need a CVOR, AND DO I NEED TO STILL HAVE TO TAKE MY TRUCK INTO A SHOP THAT DO SAFETY INSPECTION,, EVERY YEAR FOR A NEW INSPECTION, STICKER ON THE TRUCK,, AND ANY TRAILER I PULL WITH THE TRUCK, WITCH COST ME AROUND 1700$ EVERY YEAR JUST for the truck. not including any work repairs that fail.. inspection, the answer i got was look it up if you dont know.. THEY ALL REMIND ME OF IN 2004 WHEN I WAS IN Finland FOR A MONTH, FAMILY TOOK ME BY TRAIN TO RUSHA,, , AND IT WAS LIKE COLONEL KLINK, RUSHA NOT LONGER A COMMUNIST COUNTRY BUT THEY STILL ACT AS IF THEY ARE, I WAS TOLD, WHEN WE GET TO THE BOARD, DONT TALK TO THE GUARDS DONT EVEN LOOK AT THEM.. well, like everything, you have to look deep into fine print to find any thing. i hate when the scales are open, weighing you never good enough, every time 2 guys come out one on a creeper under the truck and the other one walking around ordering you to put this light on, that light on, put your trailer brake on and put in 3rd gear and pull a head.. wait there a guy under the truck, ,, never mind do as i said..
Can you just use the binder to the trailer or we have to use a chain for excavator
Are you allowed to put more binder than one corner?
So if I have a load for 30k lbs. I have to make sure I have enough chains and straps to cover 15k lbs? If I have 4 straps at 4500 a piece that would work then?
How about binder to trailer ? Is that legal. Like let’s say a binder hooked to the track that then is hooked to a trailer. Is that legal
I like how the audio made me feel like my ear was plugged the first 4 minutes or so.
He should have talked about over 10 ft long requires another strap or chain...
That mean most skidsters without buckets are just over 10 ft long, Therefore you need two straps in the back one strap in front. You're under 10,000 lb however since you're over 10 ft long you need that fourth strat putting you back at four corner securement😮
Then if you have the bucket now you need another strap over the bucket so you need five points of securement and if you're using chains you need five binders. YES?
-Plus for smaller skidsters that are under 10 ft long once you put a bucket on them you're back over 10 ft long now so it puts you back at 5 points of securement there as well? 🤷♂️
Hello great clip . however i do have one ?. at the start of it he said lets say this weighted 50,000 pounds. cut in half that 25,000 pounds. the chains were rated for 6600 wll. then it went from mechine to trailer and that derated it in half to 3300 wll. and if you have 4 tie downs on it thats only 13,200 pounds. but dont we need to make up for 25,000.. i know it was for training. but he should have said to add more chains
What about using rope on under 10k loads? That's what I used almost exclusively to secure everything not welded down and never had anything I secured move an inch. Even in 30 ft seas, which you don't see on the highway. I would take the rating of the rope and figure the percentage of loss for each type of knot, and ensured that I had the correct rope for the job. Is that legal for light loads on the highway?
I know this is late, but in 393.104(f) it says, “Tiedowns and securing devices must not contain knots.” I don’t see anything about weights, so I would assume this would apply to all weight categories. Also, in 393.104(e) there is a list of acceptable types of cordage. So again, I would assume you couldn’t just grab any old type of cordage and start securing a load. You would need to follow these standards.
An excavator with a bucket and a blade. does the blade count as as additional attachment that would require its own chain? Thanx!
Yes it would.
FMCSA says over 10,000 pounds the WLL on each corner cannot be less than 5,000 pounds. Is your 3,000 legal?
When the distance from the machine to the trailer is short enough to use a binder only, is that DOT approved ??
Yes like excavator tracks you can do that
What the WLLOF the trailer?
Bet this guy is fun at a party
He pulls truckers over to take their stimulants I bet he is
Ohh I have been at that scale before! 😂
The Facebook page does not come up for Indian state police
The Facebook link doesn't seem to be working .
is this another DP CHANNEL OR HOVERS?
Omg this makes me NOT wanna flatbed!
i am never driving through indiana... the cops are too smart.
if that state trooper was my neighbor ... i would be asking him questions every day... i think he should give the class on compliance he is very well spoken and knows all the regulations and can explain them very well// hats off
Seems like a nice diesel cop.
Most of the audio seems like it’s 90% left side
Wtf? There is no audio first 5:26 of your shooting. So I believe a lot of useful information missed.. is there any way to re-upload this video?
By the way, thank you for educational video.
A lot of these new drivers attempting to run open deck need watch these videos to save their CDL and lives
That's why imnwatching it lol
The virginia law on the tie down is the same as you're state
If someone didn’t know to look for this video than how are we supposed to know all of these rules?
I've got a 1973, Ford F-700 DUMP trk 10ft DUMP body Air Brakes the virginia law is I don't have to have a cdl as long as I keep my weight at 26001
OKS !!! "" Back in the day "" The DOT rule was that a chain was to be between the "Chain Binder " & the trailer as well as the load so that if the binder became loose ,,it would NOT disconnect from the trailer itself & ALL chain connections were to be in the trailer pocket NOT the rub rail !! Today ,,they just hook the binder into the trailer & ONLY use a chain if the Binder was too short or wouldn't connect to the load so if it became loose ,,then it could disconnect from the load !! Guess the LAWS have changed over the years , but when I was on a ""SKATEBOARD"" still followed the ""OLD"" Laws on Securement !!! Retired now so DON"T care how its done till a wreck happens !! 🤔🙄👀👀👀
💯🔥💙👍
Wonder how many times he's ruined a cdls day? As many as required.
