5.4.7 Securing the cargo
Since the trailer cargo is subjected to longitudinal (front / back) and
lateral (side / side) forces you must secure all cargo, that is not flowable,
so that it does not shift while the trailer is being towed. The tarp rail on
trailers so equipped is to be used only to secure a cover for any materials
or equipment in transport and not to secure any cargo.
Shifting cargo can result loss of control of the trailer, and can lead to
death or serious injury.
Tie down all loads with proper sized fasteners, ropes, straps, etc.
