What is necessary for cargo to be secure during transportation?

Proper tie-downs and storage are critical for ensuring cargo security during transportation. This involves using appropriate straps, chains, and other securing devices to prevent movement of the cargo within the vehicle. When cargo is properly secured, it minimizes the risk of shifting that can lead to accidents or damage to the cargo itself. Well-organized storage helps in maintaining balance and stability of the vehicle during transit, which is essential for safe driving.

While low-level weight distribution contributes to the overall stability of a vehicle, it is not sufficient on its own to keep cargo securely in place. Reinforced vehicle structure can provide additional support, but it doesn't address the need for cargo to be properly tied down. Frequent stops for adjustments may be necessary when securing cargo initially, but they do not replace the need for proper tie-downs and storage as a fundamental practice to ensure safety.
