For an article that is 12 feet long, what is the minimum tiedown pattern under the general rules?
- A.One tiedown in the middle
- B.Two tiedowns regardless of length
- C.At least three tiedowns for that length under the standard length-based table (more if needed for weight and stability)
- D.Tiedowns are counted by weight only
Correct answer
C. At least three tiedowns for that length under the standard length-based table (more if needed for weight and stability)
Why
The general table adds tiedowns as length grows: the longer the article, the more restraint points it needs to prevent shifting and tipping. Length, weight, and whether the article is blocked at the front all enter the final count.
