Ditto on the binder placement. Don't always have a passenger. I also check load first 5 miles, 25 miles and finally 50. I only use the gold colored chain on my tractors; for implements I use 5/16 chain from the local home center.

Best advise ever given to me was that if the trailer hitch broke that tractor better still be on the trailer when Hiway Patrol and/or DOT arrive on the scene, be it upside down, sideways in the ditch etc. If not, I would be considered the liable party.

I usually run chain to four corners. Hooks are down thru the stake pocket and hooked back to the pocket with the open end facing down. I use snap over binders.

Seen some loads going down the road on private and commercial rigs that scared the shutt out me! I hurried to get around them cause I did not want that load coming off in front of or on top of me.
FWIW
