June 6 is National Secure Your Load Day.
Unsecured loads not only endanger you, but also other drivers and pedestrians. Each year, about 730 people are killed and 17,000 more are injured because of objects in the road.
Tips for securing your cargo properly:
- Tie it down with rope, netting or straps.
- Tie large objects directly to your vehicle or trailer.
- Consider covering the entire load with a sturdy tarp or netting.
- Do not load excessive amounts of cargo in or on your vehicle or trailer.
- Always double-check your load to make sure it’s secure.
