Default Re: Tie down wheels or axles when towing

I have hauled for 40 years and always use straight tie downs with no hop! A good friend was transporting his AACA Ford truck to a show when one of the diagonals came loose. That in turn made the other diagonal totally useless in fact it pulled the truck sideways into the side of the enclosed trailer. That sure messed up the paint. Granted he said it was more than likely his fault forgot to lock the strap but the point is if they had been straight he would have still had three corners holding the truck when the one came loose!
