Just like you said earlier... they can and will go over your rig with a fine tooth comb. And when the DOT man climbs inside the rig I'm not going to be the one to tell him NO!!!!
Arranging your load is another factor. Some want 10 percent on the hitch.
I usually do less to make it more comfortable in the cab. However, going up a steep hill with the load near balanced will put an uplift on the hitch. In one case for me, I was glad to have 4 WD since the rear tires lost grabbing going up.
Of course, never have the resultant of the load behind the wheels.

maybe stating the obvious here but I always lock brakes, leave in gear etc. Wont help in a bad accident but will help keep it from stressing one set of hold downs.
Last time I moved my B6100 I used 4 straps that were working load rated for 1500 lbs each, and it worked out really well. Using four gave me some good options vs trying to run one large chain/strap thru thru and around things on each end.
We used to use one chain in the front of our B7200 and one in the rear, but you had to wrap the chain around and thru, and you can clearly see were that's taken paint off over the years. Next time I move it I'll try and find some heavy duty straps that will be rated enough for that one.
