Bulkheads, Taxicab Racks, Resilience You Can Trust, Checked and also Authorized

If your flatbed trailers are not geared up with bulkheads, header boards, or any other sort of front-end structure that prevents the payload from gliding into the cab, did you know that you have to use an added band or chain to hold the payload in position? Often referred to as a "charge band," this additional tiedown aids protect the payload to the deck and also stops it from gliding onward right into the taxicab. The federal cargo securement guidelines in 49 CFR § 393.110 need this added tiedown if you're not making use of a front-end structure to secure the payload.
