Go!Which of the following is not an acceptable method of containing loose parts when securing flattened or crushed vehicles?
Use a containment system that:
The containment system can consist of one or a combination of the following methods.
The use of synthetic material for containment of loose parts is permitted.
When securing paper rolls with friction mats as a primary method:
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.
As part of the log packing requirements:
Which of the following is not a requirement of wood used as blocking or bracing?
If wood is used:
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?
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
Either attach the side-to-side tiedown through a pipe
Or pass the tiedown over both front-to-back tiedowns between two pipes on the top tier.
One option of positioning bundles of building materials is:
Choose one of two options for positioning bundles:
Place bundles in direct contact with each other.
Provide a means (such as dunnage or blocking) to prevent the bundles from shifting towards each other.
The definition for "shortwood" identifies pieces that are no longer than:
Also called:
An anchor point is defined as:
Part of the structure, fitting, or attachment on a vehicle or cargo to which a tiedown is attached.
Within the requirements for concrete pipe, which of these requires specific securement methods?
Follow general cargo securement requirements (Section 2) when transporting the following pipe:
Any concrete pipe loaded crosswise on a platform trailer or vehicle that is not exempt.
What is the maximum angle recommended for tiedowns securing cement pipe loaded crosswise, relative to the deck?
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.
Studying the flatbed cargo securement CDL manual is not a requirement for getting your CDL permit or license. It is required knowledge for flatbed drivers.
Some questions you should be able to answer for flatbed cargo securement:
Any device specifically manufactured to attach or secure cargo to a vehicle or trailer:
A combination of securing devices that forms an assembly that:
Some tiedowns are attached to the cargo and provide direct resistance to restrain the cargo from movement.
Some tie-downs pass over or through the cargo. They create a downward force that increases the effect of friction between the cargo and the deck. This friction restrains the cargo.
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).
Cargo is contained if it fills a sided vehicle, and every article is in contact with or sufficiently close to a wall or other articles so that it cannot shift or tip if those other articles are also unable to shift or tip.
A structure, device, or another substantial article placed against or around an article to prevent horizontal movement of the article.
Tiedowns can be used in two ways:
Place the tiedown as close as possible to the spacer.
Position the tiedowns as symetrically as possible over the length of the article.
Position the tiedowns to preserve the integrity of the article.
