Yeah, I don't get a rats arse what the dot says. I run chains and straps.
Up here the flatbeds were using straps to tie down their loads of steel I beams coming from the steel plant. After a few had their load slide forward and thru the sleeper of their semi, the state DOT started automatically stopping and fining the drivers for each strap on their load. One driver put tarps over his to hide the straps and a DOT caught him and impounded the load and he went to jail cause he did not want to use chains and binders.
