5.7 SECURING THE CARGO
Since the trailer cargo is subjected to longitudinal (front / back) and lateral (side /
side) forces you must secure all cargo that is not flowable, so that it does not shift
while the trailer is being towed.
! WARNING
Shifting cargo can result loss of control of the trailer, and can lead
to death or serious injury.
Tie down all loads with proper sized fasteners, ropes, straps, etc.
Refer to www.fmcsa.dot.gov for regulations regarding cargo securement rules.
