Forward movement
What does a direct tie-down through the eye of a coil help prevent?
(When a tie-down goes directly through the eye, it is keeping the coil from moving forwards).
What is wrong if a shipment of 5 metal coils is secured with an eyes vertical orientation in a The coils should be secured at no more than a 45-degree angle. (Can be less than a 45-degree
row tie-down at a 50-degree angle? angle, but no more than a 45-degree angle).
Diagonal.
How could the direction of 2 tie-downs best be described in an eyes vertical orientation? (In an eyes vertical orientation, 2 of the ropes are crossed over one another in a diagonal
fashion).
What restricts movement of a pallet with a metal coil on top of it while in transit? A friction mat (as well as the tie-downs restrict movement of the metal coil on the truck).
Why would there be a problem if the tie-downs through the metal coils were crossed? This method of the tie-downs forming an X -pattern is not allowed.

With an eyes lengthwise orientation, how does the driver prevent the coil from rolling? By using a tie-down above the deck to prevent rolling.

How would a driver determine the securement requirements for metal coils? By the positioning of the coils' eyes on the vehicle (there are 3 ways to position coils).

There are at least 3 coils in a line.
What constitutes a row of metal coils?
(When there are 3 or more coils in a load, it is called a row).
Van-type vehicles.
Which type of vehicle has securement requirements for metal coils? (There are 3 types of vehicles that have securement requirements for metal coils: 1- flatbed
vehicles, 2- van-type vehicles, and 3- intermodal containers that have anchor points).

By weight and working load limits.
How are the securements of metal coils measured so that they meet the requirements?
(The sum of the working load limits must be greater than or equal to 50% of the coils' weight).
