Then I had to stop and pick up some politicians, I mean airbags, to take back to the shop.
Ba-dum TSSSS!
Let's hear it for Pat M, ladies and gentlemen! He'll be here all week!

LOL I actually said that to the counter guy when I walked into the shop.
A perfect balance... 13k on steer, 47k on drives and 46,6k on trailer.
OOS:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
So today was fairly busy for me. First I hauled a chip spreader back to the shop... I hate when the wheels are different widths, I mean the axles on the front are narrower than the back. You have to get off the machine to make sure the ramps are in the right place.
Then I got to move this 270 Komatsu....
And the last load of the day consisted of road plates. These are the steel plates that you see over portions of the road that have been dug up.
Started my day with a little loader, 980 CAT
Then I had to max out the truck and trailer and move a D8 about 5 miles from one pit to another....
Then finished up the day with another 980. The trailer is now breathing a sigh of relief.
Here is an earlier load that we hauled....
Tomorrow I am hauling dirt so you probably do not want photos of that.... LOL
How do you tie that down. :p

There were 6 chains on the lift. One on each corner, one more on the back and one over the forks.

I was being a smart ass about the dirt. :)
After reading it again I saw that. But, to answer your question, I use straps as it does not cut into the dirt as much.

Just a couple of scaffolds up to Great Falls. Then I had to stop and pick up some politicians, I mean airbags, to take back to the shop.
