@@lonely4wd I've had a look at the link provided. I'm having a hard time understanding how it would solve the specific issue at hand. You're saying to let them roll up against the sides of the trailer instead of securing them in place? Carpet I understand(thanks to the wonderful video provided by Utility's website), but this isn't carpet. I've seen the damage steel coils can do. This looks very unsafe to transport them in a rollable position without securing them to the floor. Stronger sidewalls only stop them from coming out. The images/videos shown does not indicate low tie-down points, but 6+ inches above the floor, with only slots, no place or rings for purpose-built straps/chains. I'm sure those trailers shown are more than capable of handling the load, but you're expecting more from drivers that assume less responsibility than we should be expecting to secure the cargo properly. Edit; I'm basing the securement issue on the landall trailers they're reloading the coils onto. Using the Utility Dryvan's system, they'd barely be pulling any force down into the coil. Over a longer trip, they'll slowly move from their positions. Whereas tying them to the floor would have a better angle for keeping them in place.

Great video as always. It was nice of the driver? to park in a nice shaddy spot.

Another tough job well done.

driving with the tandems to the rear wont cause a legally loaded trailer to fail, there was obviously additional probelms with the trailer. I am a HD CDL A Driver with more than 2 million miles. Slding them to the rear on a trailer in good condition will not make it break the frame.And by the way it is a 45' trailer so running it to max is legal depending on how it scales. Very normal to run a 45 at max length.

Your dealing with tow truck drivers 😂 they know everything about everything trucking related 😂 Your absolutely right. 45 and even a 53 can be run long if it’s loaded properly and the trailer is.

Those is what you load rolls of heavy product on like this. This was a lot of weight per square inch. Imagine an elephant 🐘 on high healed shoes. That will push through a lot.

Great teamwork getting it unloaded quickly. Wouldn't it have been easier to use the Fifth Wheel attachment on the under reach, to tow the trailer?

Seems to me that the drag winch would have worked better getting the rolls to the back of the trailer. But that's Monday Morning Quarterbacking :) Great Job.

I thought about that after the fact, but realistically, if you count, it took them like 10 seconds maybe to put the strap in and shackle it to my line. Multiplied by 28 rolls, that would have saved a grand total of less than 5 minutes.

Just an observation, if you used a second strap the guys in the trailer could rig the next roll while you are placing the previous one. Might save a little time.

Not a good idea to put those types of loads in a dry van especially when not secured properly in the first place. Might have Superseded the weight limit in the floor beams when those coils moved in one spot. Especially with tandems all the way in the back.

That old trailer has probly 3 million miles on it there is no way to load it and it would not buckle I doubt he was over weight. Chaining them coils I bet they ended up in scrap

10-40 is how I ride when heavy.

In Europe, we don't have to slide. Automatic lift axles, only override= all axles down. Consider it USA/CAN, if we can manoeuvre with 3 fixed axles on the ground, you can as well. Besides, if we have double rear tractor axles, 1 usually is a lift axle, and 80% chance it also steers. If we have 4 or more axles on a dumper or mixer: only 2 axles are fixed, rest is either liftable or liftable and steering. Why o why are you so behind in your technology and comfort features in the trucking business? It's like going back to 1990 for western Europeans.

The more axles underneath the vehicle, the heavier the potential payload it can legally transport. I'll use my work truck here in Washington State for this example. It's a 2017 Peterbilt dump truck. The truck has 5 axles, 2 of them are able to be raised off the road when empty. The trailer has 3 axles underneath it. With this truck I can legally weigh 105,500 gross weight.
