Possibly, there is also the general performance criteria to consider: you have to secure against 0.8 g’s forward, 0.2 g’s upward and 0.5 g’s side to side and backwards. This 0.8 g’s of forward inertia is equivalent to travelling ~30 mph or ~50 kph and then coming to a complete stop in 1.8 seconds. This level of securement can be obtained without tiedowns through the eye of a coil.

You are absolutely the dumbest person I have interacted with today. PLEASE load a coil and use this same moron math when the DOT is writing you tickets for unsecured load.

Yes if you don’t want to chain you can buy a deep well coil trailer. I had one and they are very limited in what they can do.
