Usually the roll is secure if a paper roll has 3 well-separated points of contact with the vehicle, other rolls, or other cargo.
- Band the roll to other rolls.
- Use tiedowns.
- Use rear doors to brace it.
- Brace it.
From The CDL Manual
Situation #1:
- Paper roll is not prevented from tipping by the vehicle structure or other cargo.
- Paper roll width is more than 2 times its diameter.
Solution #1:

- Either band the roll to other rolls.
- Or brace it.
- Or use tiedowns.
- Apply bands loosely.
- Spread rolls apart from each other.
- All of these are necessary.
- Secure bands with tape, hangers, or other means.
From The CDL Manual
Banding
If paper rolls are banded together:

- Place rolls tightly against each other to form a stable group.
- Apply bands tightly.
- Secure bands with tape, hangers, or other means so that the bands cannot fall off the rolls or slide down to the deck.
- Banding them together.
- Tiedowns.
- All of these are required.
- Friction mats alone.
From The CDL Manual
Situation #4
- A paper roll or the forwardmost roll(s) in a group of paper rolls is not prevented from tipping or falling forward by vehicle structure or other cargo.
- Paper roll width is more than 1.25 times and less than 1.76 times its diameter.
- Only friction mats are used for forward securement.
Solution #4:
The friction mat alone is adequate. The friction mat allows the roll to slide on the floor without tripping the roll.
- Lay the second layer horizontally.
- Make sure heavier rolls are on top.
- Be sure the bottom layer extends to the front of the vehicle.
- Stack the second layer at the back.
From The CDL Manual
Stacked Loads
- Load paper rolls on a second layer only if the bottom layer extends to the front of the vehicle.
-
Prevent forward, rearward, or side-to-side movement:
- Either by the same means required for the bottom layer
- Or by the use of a blocking roll from a lower layer.
- A roll in the rearmost row of any layer must not be raised using dunnage.
- All of these answers.
- Make sure friction mats are completely covered by the roll.
- The friction mat should stick out from underneath the roll in the opposite direction for which it is providing securement.
- The friction mat should stick out from underneath the roll in the direction it is providing securement.
From The CDL Manual
Requirements for friction mats

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.
- Secure roll against rear doors.
- All of these are acceptable
- Secure blocking against rear doors.
- Wedges or chocks secured by some means in addition to friction.
From The CDL Manual

Note: Chocks, Wedges, or Blocking Securing the Front or Rear Roll - Hold in place by some means in addition to friction so they cannot become unintentionally unfastened or loose while the vehicle is in transit. This is often accomplished with nails.
Requirements for eyes crosswise: secure rearmost roll
Do not secure the rearmost roll with:
- Either the rear doors of the vehicle or intermodal container
- Or blocking held in place by those doors.
- Place second layer with eyes vertical.
- It must be blocked against an eye-vertical blocking roll resting on the floor of the vehicle that is at least 1.5 times taller than the diameter of the roll being blocked.
- The bottom layer must extend all the way to the front.
- All the wells in the layer beneath must be filled
From The CDL Manual
Requirements for eyes crosswise: secure stacks of paper rolls from front-to-back movement
- Do not load paper rolls on a second layer unless the bottom layer extends to the front of the vehicle.
- Load paper rolls on higher layers only if all wells in the layer beneath are filled.
-
Secure the foremost roll in each upper layer (or any roll with an empty well in front of it) against forward movement:
- Either by placing it in a well formed by two rolls on the lower row whose diameter is equal to or greater than that of the roll on the upper row.
- Or by banding it to other rolls.
- Or by blocking it against an eye-vertical blocking roll resting on the floor of the vehicle that is at least 1.5 times taller than the diameter of the roll being blocked.
- Any of these methods are acceptable.
- Void fillers.
- Tiedowns.
- Friction mats.
From The CDL Manual
Requirements for eyes crosswise: prevent rolls from shifting toward either 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:
- Void fillers (such as honeycomb)
- Blocking
- Bracing
- Friction mats
- Tiedowns
- When using tiedowns that wrap twice around the load.
- Stacking rolls with eyes vertical is not acceptable
- When temperature is 63 degrees F or more.
- When total weight is less than 5,000 lbs.
From The CDL Manual
Special Circumstances: Loading and Securing Paper Rolls on a Flatbed Vehicle or a Curtain-Sided Vehicle
Requirements for eyes vertical or with eyes horizontal and lengthwise
Load and secure the paper rolls as described for a sided vehicle.
Attach tiedowns to secure entire load according to the general cargo securement requirements in Section 2.
Note: Stacked loads of paper rolls with eyes vertical are prohibited
