Top Securement Mistakes That Lead to Cargo Damage

One of the biggest mistakes truckers make is failing to check tie-down tension before hitting the road. Using damaged or worn-out straps can compromise the security of the load, leading to dangerous shifting. Ignoring weight distribution rules increases the risk of tipping or cargo falling during transport. Drivers must also ensure that all freight is properly blocked and braced to prevent movement. Avoiding these mistakes keeps both cargo and motorists safe.
