Tips

Cargo securement is extremely important to the safety of the driver. Loads should be examined within the first 90 kilometers of initial transport and again at all following stops. All tie-downs, tarps, doors, hatches, blocks/chocks, straps/chains/binders, tires, placards, lights, etc. are to be verified as secure, meaning they cannot damage the cargo or come loose and fall off the vehicle.
