How much force is the securement system required to withstand in terms of cargo weight?

• 80% forward, 50% rearward, 50% sideways, 20% upwards.
• 80% forward, 50% rearward, 80% sideways, 20% upwards.
• 50% forward, 20% rearward, 50% sideways, 20% upwards.
• 50% forward, 50% rearward, 50% sideways, 80% upwards.

What is the Aggregate WLL of the securement system for a load secured with 7 tiedowns: 3 rated at WLL of 4,000 lbs, 2 at 6,500, and 1 at 8,000?

• 33,000 lbs
• 8,250 lbs
• 10,000 lbs
• 16,500 lbs

The maximum distance from the rear allowed for attaching mechanisms used to secure roll-on/roll-off containers is:

• 6 1/2 feet
• It doesn't matter.
• 3 feet
• 2 feet

Attach mechanisms used to secure the rear end of a roll-on/roll-off or hook lift container no more than two meters (6.5 feet) from the rear of the container.

When calculating directional forces, 'g' is expressed as:

• The maximum load that may be applied to a component of a cargo securement system during normal service, usually assigned by the manufacturer of the component.
• The summation of the working load limits or restraining capacity of all devices used to secure an article on a vehicle.
• The acceleration due to gravity, 9.823 m/sec2 (32.2 ft/sec2). For cargo securement purposes it is expressed as a percentage of cargo weight, i.e. .5g is 50% of force of gravity or 50% of cargo weight.
• The maximum load that may be applied to a component of a cargo securement system during normal service, usually assigned by the manufacturer of the component.

What is the minimum aggregate WLL of all tiedowns in a group of concrete pipe?

• 5,000 lbs.
• It depends on the size of the pipe.
• 80% of the total weight of all pipes in the group.
• More than 50% of the total weight of all pipes in the group.

What is the maximum angle recommended for tiedowns securing cement pipe loaded crosswise, relative to the deck?

• 45 degrees
• 45-90 degrees
• 180 degrees
• It doesn't matter

If the first pipe of a group in the top tier is not at the front of the tier beneath:

Attach an additional tiedown that runs rearward at an angle not more than 45 to the horizontal when viewed from the side of the vehicle, whenever practical.

Pass tiedown either through the front pipe of the upper tier or outside the front pipe and over both longitudinal tiedowns.

When banding paper rolls with eyes vertical, you should:

• Apply bands loosely.
• Secure bands with tape, hangers, or other means.
• All of these are necessary.
• Spread rolls apart from each other.

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.

Which of the following is not true of Working Load Limit (WLL)?

• The Working Load Limit is the maximum load that may be applied to a component of a cargo securement system.
• The minimum WLL requirement for the securement system is 25%.
• The WLL is usually assigned by the component manufacturer.
• All of these are true.

Which of the following is not a reason why loads should be secured?

• Avoid fines and citations
• Make it look pretty
• Prevent loss of load
• Prevent damage to the cargo

What is a cab shield?

• A structure, device, or another substantial article placed against or around an article to prevent horizontal movement of the article.
• A vertical barrier across the front of the deck of a vehicle to prevent forward movement of cargo.
• A vertical barrier placed directly behind the cab of a tractor to protect the cab in the event cargo should shift forward.
• The depression formed between two cylindrical articles when they are laid with their eyes horizontal and parallel against each other.
