Cargo Handling & Securement

After the first check, how often should cargo securement be re-inspected?

  • A.Once per day is enough
  • B.Only if the load feels different
  • C.Whenever the weather changes
  • D.Every 3 hours or 150 miles, whichever comes first, and at each duty-status change or break
Correct answer

D. Every 3 hours or 150 miles, whichever comes first, and at each duty-status change or break

Why

The standard re-inspection rhythm is every 150 miles or every 3 hours, whichever occurs first, plus whenever you have been away from the vehicle. Vibration and braking work tiedowns loose steadily over a trip.
