Here's some advice from an old heavy haul driver, take it or leave it as you wish.NEVER TIE DOWN THE VEHICLE BY THE WHEELS!Sure, for a short run it might be OK, but the only way to actually secure your load is with straps or chains to the front and rear frame.What happens when tieing down by the wheels is that you then have the wheels secured, but the vehicle is free to move up and down with it's suspension. If it moves up and down and fore and aft and side to side with the suspension, you are effectively moving the load around while going down the road. If the load moves while going down the road, and you find yourself in a bad situation and need to swerve or stop suddenly, all of a sudden you can find yourself with the load being places you really don't want it... like plastered against the back of your bus, or worse, plastered upside down on top of another vehicle or person.If you tie down using the frame holes and clevis or T or J hooks, the vehicle is held rigid and becomes part of the trailer it's loaded on.Another tip: buy yourself some Transport grade 5/16" chains and some ratchet binders... much easier to use than ratchet straps.Do it your way.Dallas
Dallas.Those J hooks look like they would save me time and from having to get underneath the car. Where do I get them?ThxJohn
