What would you like to know about Cargo Securement?

Load Securement• §393.100 General rules for protection against
shifting or falling cargo

Why do we secure loads?• Prevent damage • Protect the public• Protect ourselves• Comply with DOT regulations
![Page 6: 2017 STS - LOAD SECUREMENT – DON’T GET TIED UP IN THE LEGALITIES OF TIE DOWNS](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110217/58b891a81a28ab3e3a8b5d8d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

• D.O.T. requires that a load check be completed the first 50 miles after loading and thereafter
every 150 miles or 3 hours which ever occurs first.
• Additionally, every change of duty status a load check is required to be performed.

• 393.110 What else do I have to do when determining the minimum number of tie downs?
![Page 13: 2017 STS - LOAD SECUREMENT – DON’T GET TIED UP IN THE LEGALITIES OF TIE DOWNS](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110217/58b891a81a28ab3e3a8b5d8d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Calculate DOT Minimums1 securement device for every 10’ of length– Example load is 51’ long
• How many devices are needed?• Add “2” to the first number in the load length 5+2 = 7 devices needed
51 ft

What if the load is multiple pieces?The second stack is considered as the first piece on the trailer

If there isn’t a marking on the chain then it drops to the lowest WLL for it’s size.

Calculating the minimum number of tie downs to use.
Weight of load / WLL = Direct securement
Direct securement / 2 = Indirect securementYou must always round your decimal point up (3.02 would round up to 4).
![Page 19: 2017 STS - LOAD SECUREMENT – DON’T GET TIED UP IN THE LEGALITIES OF TIE DOWNS](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110217/58b891a81a28ab3e3a8b5d8d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• In addition to weight you must also take into consideration the length of your cargo.
• 5 foot or less 1,100 pounds or less = 1 tie down • Over 1,100 pounds but 5 foot or less 2 tie downs
• 5 – 10 foot = 2 tie down’s• Longer than 10 foot = 2 + 1 for every additional 10 foot
or fraction thereof.

• Strap A has two cuts/tears in it that are each ½” long. Since both cuts/tears are on the same side and neither one is over ¾” this strap is still legal.
• Strap B has cuts/tears on both side of the strap. Since the cut or tears are on opposite side they are added together. Strap B has a 1” cut/tear and the driver would be put out of service.
• Strap C has cuts/tears and a hole in it. The cuts/tears from both sides are added together and so is the hole in the strap. This driver would be placed out of service for having a ¾” cut/tear.
• The cuts/tears do not have to be across from each other; if they are 10’ apart they still add up of they are on opposite sides.

Securement Review• Securement OOS reasons
– Loose – complete timely load checks, especially soon after loading– Commodity – Is the piece over 10,000 lbs: then it needs minimum 4 pts
+ additional– Insufficient – usually not having 2 straps in first 10 feet of load– Damaged – straps cut more than ¾ of an inch is an OOS strap– Dunnage – anything that is sitting on the deck of the trailer not tied
down. Dunnage, bolts, dirt, anything

Calculate DOT Minimums• 28,750 / 4700 = 6.11 = 7 chains direct• 28,750 / 6600 = 4.35 = 5 chains direct• Where to place securement?– Any DOT required securement methods?
• Load is Commodity Specific – on wheels >10,000lbs

Calculate DOT Minimums• Don’t forget about length when securing.– 1 securement device for every 10’ of length– 2 devices must be in the first 10’
>5 ft in length and/or >1,100 lbs
