for what it's worth, called State Police to inquire about tie downs, in Maine, carrying a load under 10K# requires two tie-downs, one in front, one in back to prevent movement in any direction, and the sum of the load ratings of the tie downs needs to be at least 1/2 of the load. For example, I'll be using 4 tie down straps, one in each corner, if each strap is rated to be 1000lbs, I can trailer an 8000lb load.
