Just remove the hook. That’s a lot of unnecessary going on here.

if your strap slips so far it pulls out the first way, your already screwed. Its going to pull it all the out the second way also.

Excellent video

Wow love the new truck , I been doing the local stuff for awhile and I think about getting back out there and I think I going go with you guy's

Thanks for sharing!

Great episode! Thanks!

Ur full of shit, I’ve been flatbedding since long before straps , chains and binders. Straps and air ride is the best thing that ever happened to trucking. Double it shove it in the hole , wind it up , no need to pile up the windings on the winch!! More u pile up, weaker the “ hold.”

good show. thanks for sharing.

Never take short cuts

I came here one I pop my air line made a rookie mistake

Very informative!

Excellent video

Or you can just remove the hook . Pull chain thru then reattach the hook

Logic and illogic. Do it right the first time. If not when are you going have to the time when the strap breaks and possibly lose the load?

I worked for a really big crane rental and rigging company. They were the largest in a major city on the east coast. Two times they owned the world's largest truck crane. They must have had 100 flatbeds for boom, counterweights, rigging, etc. All the flatbeds had like 6 chains welded to one side, and snap binders with a short piece of chain attaching them to the trailers. That way we could drop them on jobsites and not have the chains and binders stolen. And here was the thing, no hooks on the chains whatsoever. And no we didn't rely on the welds. After a while you get really good at working without hooks.

Always loved working along side Shawn very humble and very knowledgeable.

Excellent video

U got some really good tips for sure . I’m enjoying my time at Kivi and I’m glad there are videos on this channel to watch for quick tips have a great day

T Thanks for the video Look forward to the next one

Excellent video

Thank you for your concise educational videos and demonstrations.

First

First

I have hauled a couple of dads loads when your loaded you will use every chain every strap every bungie and maybe some rope but always paid good

Ole Shawn went through training with him very smart man I could call him from the road and he could tell you the best way to chain or strap it

Excellent video

I’ll be there on the 29th of April

Beginner here I have same thought while my trainer does that but when I drive solo I switch to all through the winch Now again this helps a lot Thanks for the video

What speed are they set at

This is a great video. One thing I would add to it though or at least a second part would be measuring the angle of the rod at the knuckle. 😊

Nice

That deer guard is very strong

I am a potential driver here in a couple weeks hopefully and would find it very helpful if you did a video like this for all the styles of trucks you offer.

Couple points to add. First is knowing when not to go. Sometimes conditions are too bad to go (this point is a reason not an excuse). It’s better to be late than never. Second is using and knowing how to use trailer brakes. Tractor abs can help but utilizing your trailer to essentially pull back can help keep the truck from sliding out of control or jack knifing. Some points mentioned in the video weren’t entirely accurate. Spray off of tires isn’t a solid indicator by itself. That and temperature would be more accurate. If it’s a couple degrees below freezing on a highway a car’s tires will create enough friction to melt a small layer of ice and spray it. For anyone wondering, I’ve driven for 20 years in the Canadian prairies as well as 2 seasons of NWT ice roads. 10 of those years were oilfield hauling.

Thank you for the tips! As the seasons change it's always a good time to review safe driving habits for the upcoming weather conditions.

Shawn loves winter

Done

Let's Imagine it's 4:45 PM , your loading at a mill somewhere in Gary Indiana, it's raining ,or better yet it is snowing. yard boss says you have to get out in 15. its your last chain, at the last Truck stop, you attempted to purchase more chains, where denied because fuel card was not accepted to make purchase, called dispatch put on hold, time was of the essence due to appointment load time. you realize the pin is slightly bent, Ears of hook spread, however it is workable. do you tell yard boss to pull the load off, because of bad chain, or go ahead and use the bad chain. after 45 years on the road I can honestly say this has happened to me. This is called trucking, not an office job, where you can say, it will wait until tomorrow.

Ok. So how about a pistol?

For sure Sean. I’m always trying to leave the gap and inevitably four wheelers are always doing their best to fill the gap!

Your Videos are great Kivi Bro's trucking you will be my next O.T.R company. This video on Cargo Securement is top notch keep up the good work Kivi Bro's staff. Keep those safety and knowledgeable videos coming. Great learning techniques and learning experience.🚛🚛🚛🚚🚚🚚👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😃😃😃😃

Definitely a problem Derek, thanks for taking the time. I travel through Milwaukee quite a bit and am consistently amazed at the speeds and also following distances, semi drivers and four wheelers alike are willing to use going through the zoo interchange project. Not necessary. Don't get it.

Does Kivi really go to Alaska? In the works of getting more flatbed experience and one of my biggest goals is to put Canada and Alaska on my resume.

Monitoring speed and taking care to drive within the posted speed limit is of course best practice, however I would say that companies should place more emphasis on following distances. I've accumulated roughly 1 million miles operating light class CMV vehicles across the country over the past 10 years, and I can say definitively that large CMV trucks following too closely has become the new pandemic! I would love to see companies such as yours, roll out mandatory annual recurrent training measures to educate drivers on the importance of maintaining proper following distances at ALL times. Thanks for all you do out there, Kivi!

Unless your taking a 34??? 🎉

These videos are good. Thanks for taking the time.

What is the governed speed

If I had to go back to company driver Kivi would be one of my top picks for a company to go drive for. Thanks for the videos.

Agree
