Drivers and truckers who transport cargo have a unique duty to ensure the safe delivery of their items as well as the safety of others on the road. Too often, improper securement of flatbeds cause accidents and cost thousands of dollars in ruined product, wasted time, and insurance claims. Most cargo securement violations can be fixed if drivers are aware of what to look out for and how to prepare their flatbeds. This course covers all of this and more so that students will meet the requirements of the cargo securement standard.
