3. Secure Your Cargo Properly

Proper securing of cargo is essential to prevent damage during transport. Please note the following points:

  • The load may move vertically due to vehicle vibration or unevenness in the road.
  • The load may move horizontally when accelerating, braking, changing direction or in evasive maneuvers.

Secure your cargo properly to avoid breakage or friction during transport.

4. Check Load Securing Frequently
