Stowing load locks

The get yourself a load lock holder is the only correct answer. If it is your truck that is. The investment is only about $120.00 and I know that chicks dig them.

 

I, too, would like to read that regulation. Not calling BS on it just yet, but never heard of that before.

 

I was calling BS on it...just attempting to be tactful. The regulation he speaks of does not exist.

 

I got my ones all the time IN my reefer...
I call it food safety if a shipper or receiver start to complain about it ... if you stor them outside they are dirty....

 

Times have changed. They have a WLL50 stamped on them now.

I never got hassled for using them on dunnage, tarps on the catwalk, or whatever.

 

Be careful snowwy, he will want you to show him the regulation on that

 

I have been informed by numerous companies and other safety people whom I actually respect that storing equipment on the tractor catwalk is against OSHA regulations. Apparently, the catwalk area is supposed to be kept clear to provide safe access.

Might not be a problem for the box draggers or the flatbedders with bulkheads permanently mounted to the fore of the trailer, but I use my catwalk constantly to access my deck (no bulkhead, have headache rack/storage box mounted on tractor instead), so I hate haveing extra crap on my catwalk creating a tripping hazard. I trip over flat surfaces enough as it is, I don't need any extra challenges.

 

I have never got hassled either and am guilty of using them as described but I try not to because the people who make them say this:
