Trailer Warning - Cross those Chains

Rick Angles · 11-09-2010, 01:17 PM

The few trailers that I have towed in the past, I have crossed them but did not know why I did it. Now that I have my own trailer, it is nice to find out how to actually do things the right way.

A question about hooks. Do you run the hook into the hitch hole from the top or up from the bottom? So the open would be facing the truck or trailer? My hooks have wire like springs that cover the open surface of the hook, so I don't think they would bounce out, but nice to know if there is a correct way.
