Transportation of one or more metal coils weighing 5,000 pounds or more, individually or
bundled together, must comply with all of the following EXCEPT - ANSWER General cargo
securement rules for flatbed vehicles, van-type vehicles or intermodal containers that have
anchor points.
How are tiedowns used to secure a row of metal coils with eyes vertical on a flatbed vehicle
with anchor points? - ANSWER At least one direct tiedown against the front of the row of
coils (to restrain against forward motion) and at least one other direct tiedown against the
rear of the row (to restrain against rearward motion), making an angle of 45 degrees or less
with the floor. At least one indirect tiedown over the top of each coil or side by sire row of
coils (to restrain against vertical motion).
To transport several metal coils whose combined aggregate weight is 4,000 pounds on
pallets on a flatbed trailer, which of the following is NOT required to be met? - ANSWER
Metal coil endorsement on the CDL
The aggregate working load limit of all indirect tiedowns is - ANSWER The sum of the
working load limits for each indirect tiedown
The sum of the working load limits (WLL) from all tiedowns must be at least _____ of the
weight of the cargo. - ANSWER 50%
_________ is an effective way to prevent rolling and provides the most restraining force. -
ANSWER A cradle that has an angle oof 45 degrees
Suppose that only two direct tiedowns are used. Both are attached to one side of the vehicle
only, and each has a working load limit of 6,000 pounds. Then the aggregate working load
limit for the two tiedowns is - ANSWER 6000 lbs

, If you're using indirect tiedowns but friction is low between the deck and the cargo, consider
using - ANSWER any of the above
direct tiedowns
Friction mats or other friction enhancing devices
To secure metal coils with their eyes lengthwise, what should you use to prevent forward
movement of the coils? - ANSWER Either above
*Blocking
*Friction Mats
What are the requirements for securing a row of metal coils with eyes lengthwise? -
ANSWER Support the coils above the deck. Attach at least two indirect tiedowns over
each coil or side by side row. Use blocking or friction mats.
To secure metal coils with their eyes crosswise, which means of securement is prohibited? -
ANSWER Direct tiedowns attached diagonally through the eye of the coil to form an X
pattern
What is the most important securement task? - ANSWER To prevent an article of cargo
from moving forward
When is use of a friction mat recommended? - ANSWER When the deck or coil is soaked
with oil.
Which of the following statements regarding securement components and assemblies is
FALSE? - ANSWER Carriers should never use components that are not marked by the
manufacturer
Which of the possible components of the Aggregate Working Load Limit for tiedowns is not
correct here? - ANSWER The WLL (working load limit) of each tiedown that attaches to an
