Go!All of the following are requirements for transporting coils with eyes crosswise except:
Prevent the coil from rolling
Attach one tiedown forward.
Attach one tiedown rearward.
If loading and securing paper rolls on a second layer:
If you were instructed to 'tarp' a load, what would you be using?
A waterproof sheet used to cover cargo.
Which of the following is not a requirement for shortwood loaded lengthwise?
Concrete pipe loaded crosswise generally:
Concrete pipe with an inside diameter up to 1.143 m (45 in) can form a complete single tier on a typical flatbed vehicle. Larger pipe often can only be carried as a partial tier.
Note: This pipe diameter of 1.143 m (45 in) is simply a convenient breaking point between "medium" and "large" diameter pipe.
Note: At least one tiedown through the front pipe of the bottom tier must run rearward at an angle not more than 45 with the horizontal when viewed from the side of the vehicle, when ever practical.
At least one tiedown through the rear pipe of the bottom tier must run forward at an angle not more than 45 with the horizontal when viewed from the side of the vehicle, when ever practical.
The aggregate WLL for logs loaded lengthwise must be at least:
The aggregate working load limit for all tiedowns must be no less than 1/6 the weight of the stack of logs.
Note: This requirement is much less than the general requirement of an aggregate working load limit equal to 1/2 the weight of the load. This lowered requirement recognizes that the bunks/stakes help to prevent slippage.
What is a headboard?
A vertical barrier across the front of the deck of a vehicle to prevent forward movement of cargo.
The North American Cargo Securement Standard cover vehicles weighing:
A chock is defined as:
A tapered or wedge-shaped piece used to secure round articles against rolling.
Requirements for securing a non-cubic shaped boulder with a stable base include all of the following except:
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.
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.
