A bulkhead is defined as:
A vertical barrier across a vehicle to prevent forward movement of cargo.
Which of the following is not a reason why loads should be secured?
What is the minimum WLL required of tiedowns securing loaded intermodal containers on non-chassis vehicles?
Secure each container to the vehicle by:
Secure the front and rear of the loaded container independently.
Secure the four corners using tiedowns that are attached to the loaded container.
The tiedowns must have an aggregate working load limit of at least 50% of the loaded weight of the loaded container.
Attach each chain, wire rope, or integral locking device to the container in a manner that prevents it from becoming unfastened while in transit.
Which of the following is not a requirement of wood used as blocking or bracing?
If wood is used:
Which of the following are not covered by the specific log securement requirements?
The following types of logs are not covered by the specific logs requirements:
When securing paper rolls with eyes vertical in a sided vehicle all of the following are acceptable except:
When loading and securing a boulder, it should be:
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.
How many tiedowns are required on a stack of shortwood loaded crosswise?
Use two tiedowns to secure one stack of shortwood loaded crosswise.
Attach the tiedowns to the vehicle frame at the front and rear of the load.
Position tiedowns approximately 1/3 and 2/3 of the length of the logs.
In cargo securement, a wedge is defined as:
A tapered piece of material, thick at one end and thin at the other, used to help keep cargo from moving.
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.
