Saw a post about some bolt on trailer tie down hooks for chains. Can't seem to find post after search. Any help will be appreciated.

Yes, Vic. What seems to be not widely known because perhaps it is counter to the YTDOT mission is that the load securement regs were overhauled in maybe 2019 to become much less specific and knit picking like YTDOT likes it and instead be more performance driven like common sense people like it. It tells this at the top of the load securement regs in the FMCSA.

It is a rub rail, why would you want anything protruding outside of the rub rail to get rubbed off??
Put the hook on the side of the stake pocket.

ZTR, how long ago? That rule was supposed to have been eliminated a few years ago. Go to FMCSA driver's handbook on load securement. You won't find it.

I just watched a video with a Dot officer. You can have hooks and chain or straps on outside of rub rail. And tie to it anyway you want.

Our trailer has a stake pocket about every 20" plus a heavy strap welded to the outside of them from the front to the back. Drop hook thru stake pocket then bring hook back up outside pocket and hook to top of pocket. How would a D ring be better? Have already took front 2 chains off.

The drop in D-rings are a little better if you need to run straps back at 45 degrees. The straps just sit better, not rubbing on the edge of the trailer at an angle. With chains that doesn't really matter.....just drop them through the stack pockets as you say.

If you google, or type in bolt on hooks on your search function, quite a list comes up.
