Bulkheads, Cab Racks, Resilience You Can Trust, Tested and Authorized

If your flatbed trailers are not equipped with bulkheads, header boards, or any other kind of front-end structure that protects against the payload from sliding right into the cab, did you recognize that you should utilize an extra strap or chain to hold the cargo in place? Usually referred to as a "penalty band," this additional tiedown assists secure the freight to the deck and avoids it from gliding onward right into the cab. The government payload securement rules in 49 CFR § 393.110 require this extra tiedown if you're not utilizing a front-end framework to secure the freight.
