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).
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.

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
