Personally, for the back of the Canadian carrier I go from the corner of the trailer to underneath the axle, up over the diff, and back under the axle to the other corner. However, to be legal in these parts you are supposed to have two separate chains on the back, so in that case I would criss cross chains from the corner to the opposite side of the diff. All chains get tightened with a trap.
For the front I go from each of the corners to the front adjuster wheel. Expect them to loosen a little if a spoke prevents the chain from being attached to the closest part of the wheel. After a mile or two of movement, I'll pull over and check the chains, then again after about an hour. I don't like tying to the front tow brackets. I find they tend to bend downwards.

By far the easiest method I one I learned from Charlie Fitton. Use the winch to pull the carrier almost all the way up onto the deck. Tilt the deck back up. Use two axle hooks and hook them on the axle housing of the carrier. At the back of the truck deck there is usually spots in the deck to have the chain "hook" into. Then using the winch pull the nose of the carrier down. This does two things. #1 is that it will tighten the rear chains right up and #2 it pulls the nose down taking a lot of bounce out from the suspension. Then use two chains and cross chain the front. Use the two tow lugs and binders on the chains and you are ready to go.

Interesting thread. How would carriers have been secured on a railway flat car for transportation? Perhaps the same process could apply to modern tilt decks.

Lash through the wheels and bogeys, not the towing eyes... This allows the body of the carrier to Bob and bounce without working strops and chains loose..

Tiedown
With our modern straps and ratchets you don,t get the damage that chains do. Steel on steel means you must cross chain, as already mentioned. Only chain under carriage, OR chock under body with timber to stop body bounce.
