Go!Option #1 for securing coils transported with eyes lengthwise includes:
Attach at least one tiedown diagonally from the left side of the vehicle, through the eye, to the right side of the vehicle. If possible, the angle between the tiedown and the deck should be less than 45, when viewed from the side of the vehicle.
Attach at least one tiedown diagonally from the right side of the vehicle, through the eye, to the left side of the vehicle. If possible, the angle between the tiedown and the deck should be less than 45, when viewed from the side of the vehicle.
Attach at least one tiedown side-to-side over the top of the coil.
Use blocking or friction mats to prevent forward movement.
One option of positioning bundles of building materials is:
Choose one of two options for positioning bundles:
Place bundles in direct contact with each other.
Provide a means (such as dunnage or blocking) to prevent the bundles from shifting towards each other.
In what circumstance can shortwood be treated as longwood?
Some stacks may be made up of both shortwood and longwood. Any stack that includes shortwood must follow the shortwood securement requirements.
Exception: If shortwood is embedded in load of longwood, it can be treated as longwood.
Requirements for securing two stacks of shortwood loaded side-by-side include:
In addition to the requirements for shortwood loaded crosswise, load two stacks side-by-side so that:
'Blocking' is defined as:
A structure, device, or another substantial article placed against or around an article to prevent horizontal movement of the article.
Which of the following is not an acceptable method of containing loose parts when securing flattened or crushed vehicles?
Use a containment system that:
The containment system can consist of one or a combination of the following methods.
The use of synthetic material for containment of loose parts is permitted.
When loading bell pipe on one tier, all of the following apply except:
Load bell pipe on one tier so that the bells alternate on opposite sides of the vehicle.
If possible, the ends of consecutive pipe must be staggered within the allowable width.
If the ends cannot be staggered, they must be aligned.
What is bell pipe concrete?
Pipe whose flanged end is of larger diameter than its barrel.
In case of low friction between the cargo and deck, which of these is not a solution?
When there is low friction between the cargo and the deck (for example, with snow, ice, sand, gravel, and oil):
When securing paper rolls with eyes horizontal, which of the following should be used to secure the rear-most roll?
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.
Do not secure the rearmost roll with:
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.
