What is a general rule of thumb for how much of a cargo load's weight securement devices should be able to hold, relative to the cargo's weight?

Pick an answer

1. Securement should generally be able to withstand forces at least equal to the cargo's own weight in key directions

3. There is no relationship between cargo weight and securement strength
4. Securement only needs to hold the cargo's weight while the truck is parked, a common blind spot when it comes to weight
