Amen to the tractor vet and the dangerous binder bar.

I used a binder bar for many years hauling a flatbed and they can be a real pain and you can get hurt if your not careful. I'm not a real big man and you always try and get one notch tighter then it wants to go. Been hanging in mid air before trying to get that last notch, had it snap back and hit me in the side of the head many times. I probably always over strapped or chained but the DOT never bother me much either.

Point is just be careful and take your time. And don't be cheap on the quality of the chain. A good trucking trailer place will have the grade and quality you need, yes it's expensive but it's one time investment and something you keep and use.
