Extending Safety Chains
If I need to extend (or replace) the safety chains on my trailer, do I use the loaded weight of the trailer to determine what capacity of the safety chain/cable I need? Thanks!

You do realize the truck is moving and the brakes on the trailer are applied?
Ya, and if you leave the roller on the tongue jack you can just keep going. (Sorry for the sarcasm)..,
Having owned and driven semi trucks you see things most people don't and tend to know that when things go south on the road, it happens right now and the norm doesn't always apply except in a perfect world.
If everything was perfect it "could be" just like towing your car to the mechanic keeping things tight to a stop. The happy ending we all want.
And I'll leave it right there and not be the reaper hoping it never happens to anyone again.
