After loading, when must you make your first check of the cargo and its securement?
- A.Within the first 50 miles of the trip
- B.At the first state line
- C.After 300 miles
- D.Only when you stop for fuel
Correct answer
A. Within the first 50 miles of the trip
Why
Loads settle and tiedowns loosen quickly once the vehicle is moving, so the first check comes within the first 50 miles. Catching a shift early is far easier than recovering from one later.
