How much force is the securement system required to withstand in terms of cargo weight?

• 80% forward, 50% rearward, 80% sideways, 20% upwards.
• 50% forward, 50% rearward, 50% sideways, 80% upwards.
• 80% forward, 50% rearward, 50% sideways, 20% upwards.
• 50% forward, 20% rearward, 50% sideways, 20% upwards.

Methods of securing building materials against forward motion include:

• These are all valid methods.
• Employing blocking equipment.
• Placing bundles against the bulkhead or front end.
• Using tiedowns.

• Option #1

  Place bundles against bulkhead/front end structure.

• Option #2

  When different tiers need to be secured, use a combination of blocking equipment and tiedowns.

Specific cargo securement rules on automobiles and light trucks apply to vehicles of what weight?

• 4,500 lbs or less
• It depends on what the vehicle is used for.
• 10,000 lbs or less
• 12,000 lbs or less

When loading and securing a boulder, it should be:

• All of these are requirements.
• Placed on symmetrical hardwood blocking that extends 3/4 of the length of the boulder.
• Placed on the vehicle with its largest or flattest side down.
• Supported on at least 2 pieces of 4in x 4in hardwood blocking, extending the full width of the boulder.

Requirements

Place each boulder on the vehicle with its flattest and/or largest side down.

Support each boulder on at least two pieces of hardwood blocking (at least 10 cm x 10 cm (4 x 4 in) that extend the full width of the boulder.

Place hardwood blocking pieces as symmetrically as possible under the boulder so they support at least 3/4 of the length of the boulder.

Which of the following is not an acceptable method of containing loose parts when securing flattened or crushed vehicles?

• Structural walls.
• Sideboards or sides.
• Wedge them in between the flattened cars.
• Suitable covering material.

The maximum distance from the rear allowed for attaching mechanisms used to secure roll-on/roll-off containers is:

• 3 feet
• 6 1/2 feet
• It doesn't matter.
• 2 feet

Attach mechanisms used to secure the rear end of a roll-on/roll-off or hook lift container no more than two meters (6.5 feet) from the rear of the container.

Who is responsible for inspecting securing devices and cargo within the first 50 miles?

• Your Moms.
• The D.O.T.
• The driver.
• The shipper.

As part of their pre-trip cargo securement inspection, drivers should:

• Make sure cargo is properly secured.
• All of these apply.
• Check for anything that will obscure their vision.
• Inform carrier of any inadequate packaging.

When securing concrete pipe up to 45 inches loaded crosswise, tiedowns through the pipe must be:

• Chains
• Nylon rope.
• Straps.
• Wire.

Banding is:

• A strip of material that may be used to unitize articles and is tensioned and clamped or crimped back upon itself. (same as "Strapping")
• A combination of securing devices which form an assembly that attaches cargo to, or restrains cargo on, a vehicle or trailer, and is attached to anchor point(s).
• A device placed on the exposed edge of an article to distribute tiedown forces over a larger area of cargo than the tiedown itself, to protect the tie-down and/or cargo from damage, and to allow the tiedown to slide freely when being tensioned.
• Material used to fill a void between articles of cargo and the structure of the vehicle that has sufficient strength to prevent movement of the articles of cargo.
