I've got some old chains that I bought about 25 years ago that were sold as Transport schedule 70 chain but there are no markings on them. I'm sure that they are schedule 70 chain since the links have not deformed like a proof coil chain would but since it is unmarked if I use it now it will only be considered for the lowest rating for that size chain.
Interstate regulations apply to vehicles or combination of vehicles 10,000 lbs or more AND used in commerce. In Minnesota the commercial vehicle regulations start to apply at 26,000 instead of 10,000 if use exclusively within the State's borders.

The reference to trailers 10,000 lbs and over was just confusing.
