I've been hauling heavy equipment with DOT authority since 1970. The law on any wheeled or track vehicle over 10000 lbs is four grade 70 chains pulling four directions.. In the US they can be 5/16 or 3/8 as long as the total rating of the chains is 1/2 the total load...Canada you must use 3/8 chains or larger. 5/16 chains are 4700 lb. rating, 3/8 are 6300. But if it's over 10k you have to have four chains. If you have an accident and don't have it tied down that way the maximum fine was 25000 per lacking chain a few years ago. Always better to overtie than undertie. Plus, if a DOT stops you, they are a lot less inclined usually to be snotty about things if they see a good job of securement.
