If you are tying down a load, or removing the lines at roadside, yes, that's a good practice. But I was tying this load in my driveway and untying it in the contractor's driveway. If you do put the knots on the shoulder side, you can put a half-hitch on the road side and take the slack out of the know as you pull on the standing end, making the line over the load tight and secure. You may need to throw another half-hitch on to make sure it doesn't come loose as you go to the other side. Thanks...
@longshadowfarmstead1102 over 31 years of trucking I've also have heard it's better to put chain binders on passengers side that way if they fall off they aren't going through someone's window.
Good demonstration. I just recently learned this method, not having to run the whole line through a slip knot is another nice benefit.
Cool ! Great Video and Good work! All the best From germany👋👋👋
Thanks. If you ever come to the US, let me know and I'll give you a tour of our farm and Oregon within 50 miles or so.

Thanks, but us students need more close-ups.
Aren't you suppose to do put slip not to road side that way your working mostly away from traffic
