The Iowa State Patrol Commercial Motor Vehicle Unit<\/strong><\/a> is reminding the trucking community to secure their loads after encountering an unsafe equipment haul.<\/p>\n

On Monday, November 25, the Iowa State Patrol took to social media to call out a cargo securement violation that a trooper recently encountered.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cCargo securement is important! Choosing to not secure your cargo will lead to being placed out of service and likely lead to citations. We promise, securing your cargo takes less time than a traffic stop and inspection,\u201d troopers said.<\/p>\n

Over 150 people sounded off in the comment section about the cargo securement fail. See what they said below.<\/p>\n

  • \u201cNo officer he doesn\u2019t need chains, he\u2019s got the magnets on!\u201d<\/li>\n
  • \u201cThey got those Bluetooth tie downs lmao.\u201d<\/li>\n
  • \u201cThat stuff falling off and killing people is worth what 15 minutes to tie down. You don\u2019t have a pocket book big enough to cover that.\u201d<\/li>\n
  • \u201cTime is money and what you are seeing is the quick delivery method.\u201d<\/li>\n
  • \u201cAll seriousness, stunts like this make it harder and more expensive on the ones who follow the law\/rules.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
