>> MYTH VS. FACT

MYTH

If you’re only driving a short distance, there’s no need for tiedowns (or for more than one or two).

FACT

The federal cargo securement rules in 49 CFR 393, Subpart I, do not include any exceptions for “short” or low speed movements.

MYTH

Tiedowns must always be spaced equally, at every 10 feet.

FACT

In general, you need at least one tiedown for every 10 feet of cargo, but not specifically placed at every 10 feet along the length of the vehicle. However, tiedowns should be evenly spaced whenever possible.

Keep fatigued drivers off the road, and avoid costly violations with solutions and expertise to help you navigate FMCSR 49 CFR Section 392.3 and Part 395 regulations.
