Passed The NYS Metal Coil Endorsement
Topic 27518 | Page 2
Since I’m at it at, got another question.. sounds like its just a $$$ grab but I’ll ask anyway!
Why does New York have its own coil endorsement? Wouldn’t you secure them the same no matter what state you where in or traveling through?

I figured it had something to do with the loading/unloading process. Wasn’t sure if it was also an issue with damaging the edges on one side by laying it down.
Surprised the DOT allows them to be in the rolling position due to safety reasons. With all the safety rules they have already, common sense would tell you the coils laying on side to prevent rolling would be the safest way
From the NYS manual cargo restraints must have a working load limit of at least 50% of the weight of the cargo that is being secured. There are also specific requirements for transporting metal coil.
