Commercial drivers must understand the difference between blocking and bracing their cargo. Blocking does NOT include which of the following:
  1. Materials are shaped to snugly fit the cargo.
  2. Is secured to the cargo deck to prevent movement of cargo.
  3. Is often handcrafted at the loading site.
  4. Goes from the upper portion of the cargo to the floor or walls.
Explanation
Answer: D - Blocking is accomplished by shaping material to fit snugly against the cargo to prevent it from moving or slipping. The material used is secured to the cargo deck via various methods. Bracing, on the other hand, goes from the upper portion of the cargo down to the floor or to the walls of the compartment. Drivers should ensure that they have materials on hand for both blocking and bracing.
