Quote From Page 7 Of The CDL Manual:
Requirements for securing the pipe
Secure each pipe with tiedowns through the pipe.
Run at least one tiedown through each pipe in the front half of the load. This includes the middle one if there are an odd number. The tiedown must run rearward at an angle not more than 45° with the horizontal when viewed from the side of the vehicle, whenever practicable.
Run at least one tiedown through each pipe in the rear half of the load. The tiedown must run forward at an angle not more than 45° with the horizontal when viewed from the side of the vehicle, whenever practicable. This holds each pipe firmly in contact with adjacent pipe.

- These area all indications of tire failure
- A loud "bang" can indicate a tire blowout
- Heavy vibration or thumping indicates a tire may have gone flat
- A steering wheel feeling "heavy" indicates a possible tire problem
Quote From Page 43 Of The CDL Manual:
Quickly knowing you have a tire failure will let you have more time to react. Having just a few seconds to remember what it is you are supposed to do can help you. The major signs of tire failure are:
- Sound - The loud "bang" of a blowout is an easily recognized sign. Because it can take a few seconds for your vehicle to react, you might think it was another vehicle. But any time you hear a tire blow, you are safest to assume it is yours.
- Vibration - If the vehicle thumps or vibrates heavily, it may be a sign that one of the tires has gone flat. With a rear tire, that may be the only sign you get.
- Feel - If the steering feels "heavy," it is probably a sign that one of the front tires has failed. Sometimes, failure of a rear tire will cause the vehicle to slide back and forth or "fishtail." However, dual rear tires usually prevent this.
TruckingTruth's Advice:
As a professional driver, it is almost guaranteed that you will experience a tire issue during your career. Be sure to recognize the signs of tire blowouts and what it feels like when a tire goes flat. This can be challenging when driving a large vehicle, but driving on a flat tire can cause rim damage and create roadway damage and debris. Check your tires every time you stop.
