Protect Your Cargo. Protect Your Life.
Every mile you drive, you carry more than freight — you carry responsibility. That’s why Secure Your Load Day, observed every June 6, is more than just a safety campaign. It’s a reminder that lives depend on how we load and secure our rigs.
At Ghost Dog Trucker, we stand with truckers and freight professionals who take pride in doing the job the right way — every single haul.

WHY IT MATTERS
💥 Over 500 people are killed each year in the U.S. due to unsecured loads — and most of these deaths are preventable.🔒 Loose cargo doesn’t just damage freight — it puts drivers, families, and entire communities at risk.📦 Whether you drive long haul, short haul, flatbed, or dry van, how you secure your load determines how safe the road is for everyone.
TOP 5 TIPS TO SECURE YOUR LOAD
Double-Check Your Tie-DownsUse the proper straps, chains, and binders. Don’t rely on worn-out gear.
Balance Your WeightAn unbalanced load = an unstable ride. Know your axle limits and weight distribution.
Use Edge Protectors & DunnageThese small tools prevent sliding and preserve strap integrity.
Perform Walk-Around InspectionsBefore and after every trip. The load may shift while you’re moving.
Know FMCSA Securement RulesRegulations are there for a reason. Study them. Master them.
