I strap from the frame on rear and tow hooks on front. I also strap halfway up the frame with another 2. I use 6 straps on my single cab.
Question: How to strap a CCSB to a deck over trailer?

Strap from the frame keeps truck from moving. Strap from axle keeps straps from moving some but truck body is allowed to move. I don't want anything moving.
Nah. Just don't like loads moving on a trailer.
Haha, I have some extra straps if you want more. Should have used your rr
Definitely better safe than sorry. The guy that used to haul my excavators around never strapped anything down.

Cat taught me well. Ideally you want 60% pulling back and 40% forward. I chained down a 390D excavator with somthing like 40 binders

Did they ever explain why 60back 40/frt?
Whenever I haul a tractor and other farm equipment I tend to put 3 binders forward two back just because in my head I picture the tractor rolling off the back of the trailer if something goes south HAA
Haha yeah I'm curious. I usually use the front of the trailer as a stop and pull it into that. I don't like when things move.
I very often get told what I'm doing is excessive. But I've never lost anything!

I always assume I'm going to get into a head-on collision when I'm towing. Usually two to three chains cinched in the back, roll forward till tight, leave in neutral, then cinch down the front with chains and boomers through the lower control arms. Put in park and set brake. That way hopefully I don't have a truck coming through my back window if I do end up in a head-on or an emergency braking situation.
And when towing no one really accelerates hard, but you never know when the dumb ass is going to pull in front of ya.
I heard through the grape vine that brian doesn't make enough horsetorque to worry about that.
I dont, but James' limo makes enough to do rolling burnouts towing my 04 to new Mexico on his 37's haha
Idk if anyone has mentioned this. Majority of the weight needs to be on the tongue. Meaning dont load the engine side on the back of the trailer.
The majority of the weight should be on the axles not the tongue...

You are completely correct. I think he may have meant you should have more ahead of the axles than behind them.
Yes, usually about 60/40 split over the centerline of the axle/axles is about right.
