Securing the Load

Even if you’ve only held a driving job for a week, you understand the importance of securing the load in place. Secured cargo will not shift, tip, or fall. That means you won’t risk being distracted because you won’t hear anything moving around in your trailer. Most importantly, secured cargo is a delivery that will arrive at your customer’s location undamaged and can be unloaded safely.

You have a wide array of tools to secure your load, including but certainly not limited to straps, tarps, ropes, chains, hooks, stakes, posts, and anchor points. Drivers must inspect each piece of equipment thoroughly so they aren’t using damaged equipment to secure their cargo. You must also double-check every tiedown before you leave the parking lot. There can be no loose or unfastened tiedowns while you’re traveling on the road.

Securing your load doesn’t just mean keeping your delivery safely tied down. It also means keeping your safety equipment, logs, and personal possessions secured. Every unsecured item is another chance for you to get distracted or earn costly violations during safety inspections.

Tracking Your Delivery

Our customers expect to know where their delivery is at all times. They want to know right away if problems like inclement weather or bad traffic will cause a delay.

Along with our QUALCOMM tracking, we also rely on EDI technology to provide freight invoices, load confirmations, load tender, and other critical information to our customers for a better business experience.
