Load securing

[German version]

Inadequate load securing often results in the loss of loads, such as for example  squared lumber, fridges, paper rolls and steel sheet, on the roads, resulting in delays and, at worst, accidents.

Many drivers and forwarders are not aware of their responsibilities and often make statements such as:

	"It’s so heavy, it won’t be able to shift."
	"That will be strong enough."
	"I’m not given any time for this during loading."
	"I’ve been driving for 20 years and nothing like that has ever happened before."

The aim of this section is to help eliminate these misconceptions.
