2026\2027 A+ Grade
How are tiedowns used to secure a row of metal coils with eyes vertical on a flatbed vehicle with anchor
points?
- correct 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
- correct answer General cargo securement rules for flatbed vehicles, van-type vehicles or intermodal
containers that have anchor points.
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?
- correct answer Metal coil endorsement on the CDL
The aggregate working load limit of all indirect tiedowns is
- correct 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.
- correct answer 50%
_________ is an effective way to prevent rolling and provides the most restraining force.
- correct 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
- correct answer 6000 lbs
If you're using indirect tiedowns but friction is low between the deck and the cargo, consider using
- correct answer any of the above
direct tiedowns
Friction mats or other friction enhancing devices
What are the requirements for securing a row of metal coils with eyes lengthwise?
- correct 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 lengthwise, what should you use to prevent forward movement of
the coils?
- correct answer Either above
*Blocking
*Friction Mats
To secure metal coils with their eyes crosswise, which means of securement is prohibited?
- correct answer Direct tiedowns attached diagonally through the eye of the coil to form an X pattern
What is the most important securement task?
- correct answer To prevent an article of cargo from moving forward
When is use of a friction mat recommended?
- correct answer When the deck or coil is soaked with oil.
Which of the following statements regarding securement components and assemblies is FALSE?
- correct 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?
- correct answer The WLL (working load limit) of each tiedown that attaches to an anchor point on the
