What is a pallet used for?

• A vertical barrier across a vehicle to prevent forward movement of cargo.
• A waterproof sheet used to cover cargo.
• A vertical barrier across the front of the deck of a vehicle to prevent forward movement of cargo.
• A platform or tray on which cargo is placed so that it can be handled as an article. (Same as "Skid")

A container chassis vehicle is defined as:

• A structure, device, or another substantial article placed against an article to prevent it from tipping that may also prevent it from shifting.
• A reusable, transportable enclosure that is especially designed with integral locking devices that secure it to a container chassis trailer to facilitate the efficient and bulk shipping and transfer of goods by, or between various modes of transport, such as highway, rail, sea, and air.
• A specialized container, primarily used to contain and transport materials in the waste, recycling, construction/demolition, and scrap industries, which are used in conjunction with specialized vehicles, in which the container isloaded and unloaded onto a tilt frame body by an articulating hook-arm.
• A vehicle especially built and fitted with locking devices for the transport of intermodal containers.

When securing paper rolls with eyes crosswise, which of the following can be used to prevent side-to-side shifting when there is more than 8 inches of space to the wall?

• Any of these methods are acceptable.
• Tiedowns.
• Friction mats.
• Void fillers.

A device placed between the deck of a vehicle and car or between articles of cargo, intended to provide greater friction than exists naturally between these surfaces is:

• A friction mat.
• A chock.
• A cleat.
• Void filler.

Define 'bolster':

• A structure, device, or another substantial article placed against or around an article to prevent horizontal movement of the article.
• A vertical barrier across the front of the deck of a vehicle to prevent forward movement of cargo.
• A crosswise load bearing structural component, particularly a part of a log bunk.
• An inflatable bag intended to fill otherwise empty space between articles of cargo, or between articles of cargo and the wall of the vehicle.

Specific securement methods are required for boulders that:

• Have more than five distinct sides.
• Weigh more than 5,000 lbs, or have a volume of more than 4 cubic meters.
• Weigh more than 11,000 lbs, or have a volume of more than 2 cubic meters.
• Weigh more than 5,000 lbs, or have a volume of more than 1.25 cubic meters.

The requirements in this section apply to any piece of natural, irregularly shaped rock that:

Weighs more than 5,000 kg (11,000 lb.) or has a volume greater than two cubic meters

Is transported on an open vehicle or in a vehicle whose sides are not designed and rated for the transportation of boulders.

Requirements for securing a non-cubic shaped boulder with a stable base include all of the following except:

• Pass the tiedowns over the center of the boulder
• Secure each boulder individually with at least two chain tiedowns forming an X pattern over the boulder.
• Attach chains together at the intersection
• Wrap chains around the circumference of the boulder.

Secure each boulder individually with at least two chain tiedowns forming an X pattern over the boulder.

Pass the tiedowns over the center of the boulder and attach them to each other at the intersection by a shackle or other connecting device.

What is a cab shield?

• A vertical barrier across the front of the deck of a vehicle to prevent forward movement of cargo.
• A structure, device, or another substantial article placed against or around an article to prevent horizontal movement of the article.
• A vertical barrier placed directly behind the cab of a tractor to protect the cab in the event cargo should shift forward.
• The depression formed between two cylindrical articles when they are laid with their eyes horizontal and parallel against each other.

What is a headboard?

• A vertical barrier across the front of the deck of a vehicle to prevent forward movement of cargo.
• A vertical barrier across a vehicle to prevent forward movement of cargo.
• A transverse load bearing structural component, particularly a part of a log bunk.
• A vertical barrier placed directly behind the cab of a tractor to protect the cab in the event cargo should shift forward.

Within the requirements for concrete pipe, which of these requires specific securement methods?

• Concrete pipe eyes vertical and concrete pipe loaded lengthwise.
• Concrete pipe that is grouped together into a single rigid article and may not roll.
• Concrete pipe loaded in a sided vehicle or container.
• Concrete pipe loaded cross-wise on a flatbed trailer.
