Load Securement Practice Test

In load securement, particularly when constructing a bulkhead, the goal is to ensure that the cargo is properly restrained and cannot shift during transport. A bulkhead acts as a barrier to prevent cargo from moving forward or backward in the truck or trailer.

Typically, a bulkhead requires a specific number of 4x4 wood pieces, which serve as vertical supports or barriers. Using four 4x4’s creates a stable structure that can effectively contain and support the load. This configuration allows for the bulkhead to maintain its integrity and strength under the stress of moving cargo.

The 4x4's are usually configured to form a sturdy frame that secures the load effectively. When considering the dimensions and spacing of typical bulkhead requirements, four pieces are commonly seen as the optimal number for ensuring adequate support and compliance with load securement standards.
