Bulkheads, Cab Racks, Toughness You Can Trust, Checked as well as Approved

If your flatbed trailers are not equipped with bulkheads, header boards, or other type of front-end framework that stops the payload from gliding into the cab, did you know that you should make use of an extra strap or chain to hold the freight in position? Commonly referred to as a "fine strap," this extra tiedown assists safeguard the payload to the deck and stops it from moving ahead right into the taxicab. The federal payload securement regulations in 49 CFR § 393.110 need this extra tiedown if you're not using a front-end framework to secure the payload.
