The tyres on the m.v. seem to be very underinflated, and it's likely that on a bumpy take off this may cause snatch loading of the chains and straps by allowing the vehicle to move in all axes.
As mentioned elsewhere, the tires are deflated after the dunnage is placed under the vehicle, so more of the weight is carried by the dunnage and spread across the pallet.
