General
Securing the load properly is an important part of safe and good transport. In practice, this is often forgotten. In more than 70% of accidents involving a truck, not (properly) securing the load is the cause. These accidents often result in major damage. This damage always costs money, time and annoyance.
Good cargo securing prevents not only the loss, but also the shifting of cargo.
As a transporter you want to satisfy your customer; this is of course difficult if the cargo is no longer intact.
Eventually your insurer may come up with additional requirements. Usually in the form of very high policy costs.
Up-to-date knowledge of the correct cargo securing system saves costs and increases efficiency.
