Metal Coils Endorsement (NYS) (Actual)
Exam Graded A+ -Verified
A driver is required to check the cargo and its securing devices within how many miles
after beginning a trip? - ANSWER-50 Miles
As required by state and federal regulations, who is responsible for proper load
securement? - ANSWER-The motor carrier and driver.
How are tiedowns used to secure coils transported with eyes vertical on a flatbed
vehicle, in a sided vehicle or intermodal container with anchor points? - ANSWER-If the
coil is fastened to a pallet, the pallet must be strong enough so it cannot collapse under
the forces described in the performance criteria (Section 1).
Tiedowns must be arranged in the following manner to prevent coils from tipping in the
forward, rearward, and side-to-side (lateral) directions;
1. At least one indirect tiedown attached diagonally from the left side of the vehicle,
across the eye of the coil, to the right side of the vehicle;
2. At least one indirect tiedown attached diagonally from the right side of the vehicle,
across the eye of the coil, to the left side of the vehicle;
3. At least one indirect tiedown attached side-to-side over the eye of the coil;
4. Either blocking and bracing, friction mats or direct tiedowns must be used to prevent
forward - rearward movement.
If a metal coil is secured with 3/8-inch chains that do not display a grade rating, what is
the default strength rating assigned to each chain? - ANSWER-2,650 lbs.
If an aluminum coil weighs 12,000 lbs., the load securement must provide 6,000 lbs. of
securement to prevent movement in the rearward direction. How is this performance
criteria expressed in terms of gravity ("g")? - ANSWER-0.5 g.
The sum of the working load limits (WLL) from all tiedowns must be at least what
percentage of the weight of the coils? - ANSWER-At least 50% of the weight of the
coils.
Transportation of one or more metal coils (individually or bundled together) weighing
5,000 lbs. or more, must comply with which load securement requirement? - ANSWER-
Metal coil specific securement rules apply. Endorsement "M".
