You are loading a cargo that weighs 50,000 pounds. How many US DOT approved web straps must you use to tie down the cargo?
  1. 5
  2. 6
  3. 8
  4. 10
Explanation
Answer: D - When loading a cargo weight of 50,000 pounds, drivers would need to use at least ten DOT approved straps. Each strap has a maximum working load limit of 5000 pounds. 50,000 divided by 5000 equals ten. It is important that drivers always use at least the minimum number of straps needed to keep cargo secure. This helps prevent the load from breaking free.
