• Friction mats.

Aggregate Working Load Limit is defined as:

• 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).
• The summation of the working load limits or restraining capacity of all devices used to secure an article on a vehicle.
• The maximum weight of a load of rocks that a securement device can withstand.
• The maximum load that may be applied to a component of a cargo securement system during normal service, usually assigned by the manufacturer of the component.

Load securement for cargo weighing 29,650 lbs must be able to withstand upward force of how many lbs?

• 30,000 lbs
• 29,650 lbs

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.

When securing paper rolls with eyes horizontal, which of the following should be used to secure the rear-most roll?

• All of these are acceptable
• Wedges or chocks secured by some means in addition to friction.
• Secure roll against rear doors.
• Secure blocking against rear doors.

Note: Chocks, Wedges, or Blocking Securing the Front or Rear Roll - Hold in place by some means in addition to friction so they cannot become unintentionally unfastened or loose while the vehicle is in transit. This is often accomplished with nails.

Requirements for eyes crosswise: secure rearmost roll

Do not secure the rearmost roll with:

• Either the rear doors of the vehicle or intermodal container
• Or blocking held in place by those doors.

When using tiedowns for securing cargo, what is the general rule regarding cargo length.

• 1 tiedown for every 15 ft, or part thereof.
• 1 tiedown for every 5 ft, or part thereof.
• 1 tiedown for every 10 ft, or part thereof.
• 2 tiedowns for every 10 ft, or part thereof.

When cargo is prevented from forward movement (for example, by the headboard, bulkhead, other cargo, or tiedown), secure the cargo according to the following requirements:

All Cargo:

When securing metal coils with eyes vertical, the angle between tiedown and deck, if possible, should be:

• 180 degrees
• Between 60 and 90 degrees
• Less than 45 degrees
• 60 degrees

If loading and securing paper rolls on a second layer:

• Be sure the bottom layer extends to the front of the vehicle.
• Make sure heavier rolls are on top.
• Lay the second layer horizontally.
• Stack the second layer at the back.

All of the following are requirements for transporting coils with eyes crosswise except:

• Attach one tiedown rearward
• These are all requirements
• Attach one tiedown forward
• Prevent the coil from rolling

There are three requirements for coils transported with eyes crosswise:

Prevent the coil from rolling

Attach one tiedown forward.

Attach one tiedown rearward.

A bulkhead is defined as:

• 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 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.
