What is the best way to Use the Rub Rail on a trailer for a chain anchor point. Should everything be inside the rub rail and anchored inside rail and attached to foward/rear side of the stake pocket or go on outside of pocket (this would mean the hook would be outside of the rub rail) is this ok? or even legal?
so once that question is answered I would like to know what is the best way to correctly tie down a tractor with a chain and ratchet binder?
once you attach the chain to the tractor and side of trailer then use a ratchet binder to tighten up slack is this the best way?
Or could I use a chain looped on the trailer stake,attach one end of the chain binder and then the other hook end to the chain going to the tractor, this method would "dead end" the tractor chain to binder and the tractor chain would attach to the trailer accept through the binder.
Is it ok to use the ratchet binder hook right on the stake pocket of the trailer and the other hook right to chaining to the tractor this set up would be the chain from the tractor "dead ends" at the ratchet binder and does not secure to the trailer.
