Here is the irony, how many people think they are in compliance and are not?
Just because I said DOT regulations may not apply to non commercial vehicles towing private loads, not for hire and not going across state lines, doesn't mean I don't believe the LAWS OF PHYSICS have been appealed by the supreme court either. They apply to everyone.
I think there is a loop hole in the law excluding non commercial vehicles. Perhaps that should be fixed.
My loads are more than in compliance with DOT regulations, not to mention I use angle strapping to prevent tractor from falling off trailer in the event trailer wants to tip over. 2 chains pulling backwards are the two most important ones and I have way more strength than needed but not enough strength in the event of an accident.

Someday I have a chat with someone who is DOT certified and post back. Is anyone on YT certified???
Are there any chains and D rings strong enough for a 11 ton load? geo.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
