I, too, do not understand about load binders putting you over width. When using stake pockets, I've always dropped a chain end down the pocket and hooked upward, then put the load binder inline.
Also, I have NEVER(!!) had a load binder come loose on me, and for one very simple reason - because I was taught from an early age about always wrapping excess chain around the handle. If I don't have enough excess chain, then use rope, baling twine or even several wraps of duct tape.
I had a load "settle" on me one time. Chains slackened, but kept an eye on the load as I was expecting as much. The load binders were still just as perfectly locked as when I left, as it was physically impossible for the handle to pop open. And yes, I always use an extension bar - what I grew up learning as a cheater bar - also good for breaking rusted-on bolts free. ...Have broken a few sockets and ratchets in my time though! :lol:
Honestly, I cannot understand why normal load binders would be outlawed in any state. It all boils down to doing things the right way and not being careless. I don't even own a ratcheting binder and probably never will as I've got 20 miles of gravel road and very long winters - both of which can gum up a ratcheting binder. Sand and rocks are hard on the gearing!!

He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
