Hauler hints

[boreality]

Most illegal loads or machinery get moved on long weekends. The really bad ones come through at daybreak.

Long loads like it if you flash your brights when they're clear.

Keep trailer loads hitch heavy.

 

[Tom Dunlap]

Always cross your tongue chains.

Don't have chains that are too long.

 

[ontheropes]

If it's equipped with a breakaway switch properly connect it and that doesn't mean to the hitch pin and chains etc.also periodically check your load to make sure no straps, binders, or tiedowns loosened.

In Maine, towing anything over 1500lbs gvw also has to be commercially inspected, keep in mind. (Chipper, utility trailer)
