Which cargo securement failure is most likely to draw an out-of-service order?
- A.A strap with a legible WLL tag
- B.One extra tiedown beyond the minimum
- C.A load that is loose, leaking, or positioned so it is likely to shift or fall off the vehicle imminently
- D.Cargo that is blocked and braced
Correct answer
C. A load that is loose, leaking, or positioned so it is likely to shift or fall off the vehicle imminently
Why
Inspectors reserve out-of-service for securement that has effectively failed or is about to, because a falling load is a direct threat to following traffic. Lesser deficiencies draw citations that still must be corrected and reported.
