Why operators use it
We use LOAD-02 to make sure that the restraint system is designed for the actual freight and task, applied properly, checked at the right times and safely adapted when the load, delivery or work conditions change.
Load restraint is not a driver-only issue and it is not satisfied by a signature, a generic strap count or a familiar vehicle type. A safe load depends on accurate freight information, suitable vehicle/trailer and restraint features, appropriate equipment, planning time, competent loading, mass/distribution, in-transit checks and safe unloading. LOAD-02 brings those decisions together and gives every party the authority to stop or rework an unsafe load.
