And again, another inaccurate answer, given by an imposter claiming to be in the industry when he is not.
Securing loads on a tractor-trailer depends first on what type of trailer you have. For van trailers, if loads require securement, this can be done with load locks and with straps which go wall-to-wall on the trailer, and lock into brackets located on the trailer wall.
For flatbeds, stepdecks, curtainside trailers, lowboy trailers and other equipment trailers, the driver will secure the load using straps, chains, or a combination of both, depending on the load, and the type of trailer in use.
