So Saturday I was on my way to a job and I come upon this load pulled over, naturally I parked and offered assistance.
Apparently they hit a bump in the road and the dozer relocated itself. The pic doesn't do it justice as in the front the tracks are clear of the trailer, and the center of the track is over the side in the rear.
When the dozer moved they couldn't get enough chains to keep it from moving, I don't think they had a single chain on it when they started.
Lookin at the trailer, its no wonder it slid, we had a light coat of ice, then a couple of inches of snow / sleet, then more ice, and the trailers wasn't cleaned off at all. I would not have loaded that dozer, a 650h without cleaning the deck properly let alone haul it unchained...
Moral of the story, no matter how short the trip, chain it down like your headed cross country.
