sad [http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08087/868364-85.stm](http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08087/868364-85.stm) When i hauled 20-25 ton coils strapped suicide, made me nervous everytime someone pulled out in front of me. FMCSA says 1 chain can support 10,000 pounds. Seen plenty of guys just use the bare minimum 4 chains for 40,000 That where chained on the outside of the rub rail. hence using the rub rail for holding coil :rolleyes: I used 8, only takes a few more minutes:rofl: ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/DSCF3815e.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/DSCF3815e.jpg) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/DSCF3814e.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/DSCF3814e.jpg) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/2363445326.JPG](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/2363445326.JPG) ---

I learned my lesson not to use them. rolling west on I-70 after smithton seen the tarp flapping crazy. pull on the shoulder couldnt find an off ramp. ran over the rear part of the tarp. had to roll backwards :bowrofl: :bowrofl: Traffic zooming by, thought i was gonna get killed for a stupid tarp. Bought 50 heavy duty bungee cords and ripped off all the strings. the bungees ended that crap :nuts: ---

Theirs 3 ways. - Shotgun ( rolls sideways ) - Suicide ( rolls forward/backward ) - Eye in the sky ( self explanatory ) For me, eye in the sky took some time to learn. wasn’t used much at all. It’s sometimes easier for some places to unload certain ways. I never cared either ways. ---

If it was a car, she might have gotten away from it, but you ain’t stoppin’ a semi moving 40,000 lbs… Surprised they all didn’t die. ---

These coils roll out of irvin works daily on trucks strapped the exact same way… I’ve honestly never even payed attention to it, and that’s odd for me. I usually notice quirky things like that. I just heard my mom refer to it today as a “suicidal roll” and wasn’t sure if that was something she made up, or it was a term other people actually used. ---
