• 3
• 4
• 5
• 2

Requirements

When securing concrete pipe with a diameter up to 45 inches loaded crosswise as a group, a crosswise tiedown should be used every how many feet?

• 15
• 6
• 3
• 10

As a group

Place lengthwise tiedowns over the group of pipes:

Either one 13 mm (1/2 in) chain or wire rope,

Or two 10 mm (3/8 in) diameter chain or wire rope

A hook-lift container is:

• 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 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.
• The load carrying area of a truck, trailer, or intermodal container.
• A vehicle especially built and fitted with locking devices for the transport of intermodal containers.

Which of the following is not true of Working Load Limit (WLL)?

• The minimum WLL requirement for the securement system is 25%.
• The Working Load Limit is the maximum load that may be applied to a component of a cargo securement system.
• The WLL is usually assigned by the component manufacturer.
• All of these are true.

To satisfy general cargo securement requirements, what is the minimum WLL for securing vehicles under 10,000 lbs?

• 4,500 lbs.
• 10,000 lbs.
• 50% of the weight of the cargo.
• 30% of the weight of the cargo.

Which of the following is not a method of securing side-by-side cargo?

• Place them in direct contact with each other.
• Fill the empty space between with other cargo.
• Make sure it is leaning forward.
• Use some kind of blocking to prevent shifting.

For articles of cargo placed beside each other and secured by side-to-side tiedowns:

Either place them in direct contact with each other,

Or prevent them from shifting towards each other in transit by using blocking or filling the space with other cargo.

What is a cab shield?

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

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

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

The North American Cargo Securement Standard cover vehicles weighing:

• Over 4,500 lbs
