When securing a non-cubic boulder with an unstable base, the four surrounding chains must have a WLL of at least:
The securement of a non-cubic shaped boulder with an unstable base must meet these requirements in addition to the other large boulder requirements in Section 13.
Surround the top of each boulder at a point between 1/2 and 2/3 of its height with one chain.
The WLL of the chain must be at least 50% of the weight of the boulder.
Attach four chains to the surrounding chain and the vehicle to form a blocking mechanism that prevents any horizontal movement.
Each chain must have a WLL of at least 25% the weight of the boulder, and the angle of the chain must be less than 45° from the horizontal.

When securing paper rolls with eyes crosswise, which of the following can be used to prevent side-to-side shifting when there is more than 8 inches of space to the wall?
If there is more than a total of 203 mm (8 in) of space between the ends of a paper roll and other rolls or the walls of the vehicle, use one of these methods:

To prevent the coil from tipping forward, rearward, and sideways, arrange tiedowns to include the following:
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.

When using tiedowns for securing cargo, what is the general rule regarding cargo length.
When cargo is prevented from forward movement (for example, by the headboard, bulkhead, other cargo, or tiedown), secure the cargo according to the following requirements:
All Cargo:
1 tiedown for every 10 ft, or part thereof.
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.
