    I've known gravel haulers, running empty, get cited for "failure to properly secure load" because a few pieces of gravel had become wedged, over time, between the tarp roll bar (fixed side) and the top of the trailer.

    "failure to properly secure load/device" is a rule that can be applied in MANY ways to any type of trailer hauler.

    I know a guy that dropped a loaded tanker on a street as he was driving, he was ticketed for "failure to secure load".Must have never checked his 5th wheel.
