I see to much scary stuff running down the roads anymore. Myself I run a binder at each corner 4 point tie down.

I run chains crossways and apply the binder to the opposite corner i.e. RH rear binder'd to LH hook point on rear of the trailer, LH rear binder'd to RH hook on rear of the trailer, then repeat for the front. Knock on wood have never had anything come loose yet. My chains are not brand new but they are HD. I wire my handles to the chain and check load at every stop for fuel, bio break etc.

Way I look at it while I am not running commercial but God forbid something happens (other idiot drivers) I want my load still on my trailer after all is said and done - even if the load is in the ditch on it's side.
FWIW
