“Would you be comfortable with someone you love driving behind this load?”
INSPECT • SECURE • RECHECK
← All Field NotesToday’s conversation
A secure load protects the driver, the public, and everyone handling the equipment. Inspect the load, use the right restraint, and check it again after movement begins.
Talking points
- 01Use rated securement in good condition and protect it from sharp edges.
- 02Restrain equipment against forward, rearward, and side-to-side movement.
- 03Remove loose material and verify doors, ramps, and attachments are secured.
- 04Stop after the load settles and recheck tension.
TAKEAWAYIf you wouldn’t put your family behind it, it isn’t ready for the road.
