Go!Aggregate Working Load Limit is defined as:
The summation of the working load limits or restraining capacity of all devices used to secure an article on a vehicle.
If the cargo is fully contained in a sided vehicle, what is the minimum requirement for withstanding sideways force?
Note: If the cargo is contained in a sided vehicle, the vehicle structure MUST be strong enough to withstand the forces described earlier.
What is the minimum aggregate WLL of all tiedowns in a group of concrete pipe?
The aggregate working load limit of all tiedowns on any group of pipe must be more than half the total weight of all pipes in the group.
When securing metal coils with eyes vertical, the angle between tiedown and deck, if possible, should be:
Which of the following is not a requirement of wood used as blocking or bracing?
If wood is used:
What is the minimum securement requirement for paper rolls with eyes vertical with a width between 1.25 and 1.76 its diameter?
The friction mat alone is adequate. The friction mat allows the roll to slide on the floor without tripping the roll.

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.
All of the following are requirements for dividing vehicles over 33ft except:
Vehicles over 10 m (33 ft) must be equipped with center stakes, or comparable devices, to divide it into sections of equal length.
Each tiedown must:
Which of the following can be used as part of the cargo securement system?
A securement system is a securement method that uses one or a combination of the following elements:
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.
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.
