(14) You must use safety chains between the running members and the towing truck to supplant the tow bar, and will be secured so as to preclude any possibility of the running timbers being pulled off the cross members on the truck or from the dollies.
(15) For the purpose of computing weights to determine the axle and tire loadings, you must use the cubic volume of the building (length, width and height), including walls, floors and ceiling joists, allowing 5 pounds per cubic foot. You must use this method of computing weight to determine if larger equipment need be employed on any given move.
(16) When fastening structures to tractor, and runners are clamped to headers, you must use steel chains or the equivalent. If steel chains are used, you must tighten said chains by railroad jacks or the equivalent.
(17) All motor vehicles must conform with motor vehicle laws of the state of Washington.
(18) A fifth wheel type suspension with two nonsteering dollies must be acceptable for moving buildings which do not exceed 46 feet in length. You must obtain permission to move larger structures with this type of suspension from the department.
(19) Pushing from the rear is prohibited unless a system of signals is used to control the driver.
(20) You must carry blocks capable of holding the unit being moved, and in case of winching operations, you must keep them close to the downhill side of the wheel of each dolly to prevent a runaway should the cable slip.
