What is a cab shield?

• 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 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.

In terms of cargo securement, what is a 'well'?

• A female housing fixed to the side or ends of a vehicle to receive a stake or peg, and may also be used as an anchor point.
• The depression formed between two cylindrical articles when they are laid with their eyes horizontal and parallel against each other.
• 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.
• A rail along the side of a vehicle that protects the side of the vehicle from impacts.

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

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

There are three requirements for coils transported with eyes crosswise:

Prevent the coil from rolling

Attach one tiedown forward.

Attach one tiedown rearward.

When securing building materials, how many knots are acceptable in the tiedown(s)?

• Depends on the weight of the cargo.
• 0
• 2
• 1

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

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

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.

The load carrying area of a truck, trailer, or intermodal container is referred to as the:

• Well
• Headboard
• Deck
• Bulkhead

When securing paper rolls with friction mats as a primary method:

• The friction mat should stick out from underneath the roll in the opposite direction for which it is providing securement.
• Make sure friction mats are completely covered by the roll.
• The friction mat should stick out from underneath the roll in the direction it is providing securement.
• All of these answers.

Requirements for friction mats

If a friction mat is used to provide the principal securement for a paper roll, insert the friction mat so that it sticks out from beneath the footprint of the roll in the direction in which it is providing securement.

What is the maximum angle recommended for tiedowns securing cement pipe loaded crosswise, relative to the deck?

• 45-90 degrees
• It doesn't matter
• 45 degrees
• 180 degrees

If the first pipe of a group in the top tier is not at the front of the tier beneath:

Attach an additional tiedown that runs rearward at an angle not more than 45 to the horizontal when viewed from the side of the vehicle, whenever practical.

Pass tiedown either through the front pipe of the upper tier or outside the front pipe and over both longitudinal tiedowns.

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

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

What is a headboard?

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