Emergencies & HazardsQuestion 93 of 120
You have just left the shipper with a secured load. When must you first re-inspect the cargo and its securement?
a.Within the first 50 miles of the trip
b.Only at the destination
c.After 500 miles
d.Only if the load shifts noticeably
Explanation
The rule requires an inspection within the first 50 miles, then a re-examination every 150 miles or every 3 hours of driving, whichever comes first. Waiting until the destination, 500 miles, or a noticeable shift means the securement has already failed.
