    Help! Do you have a flatbed load securement manual from your current or previous job. If so would you post it. I am constantly looking to learn. I would love to see what people are being taught in order to better myself and make it safer for others around me. Thank you and safe trucking to you all.

    Maverick has a pretty good one if you can get your hands on one. Mine is 7 years old.

    If you would like to understand the rules concerning load securement you can download DOTs cargo securement manual. It's on the DOT website.

    That's fine. But jjkeller main business is dot legal forms and books, so their book will show what is legally required for various different products. I'd guess it's pretty thorough considering mercer hands one our to all new hires.

    All of you are awesome for contributing. What I was looking for is for example: if i have a 3 tier load of steel beams how many belly securements is recommended and where to be placed. Whether it is better to build a head board or go with a trip chain etc.

    You read the manual I posted already? Chapter 5 covers coils. Below is the NYSDOT version.
