Kinedyne will hold a webinar next week, “Navigating Cargo Securement Roadcheck Inspections,” to provide guidance and promote worker safety, education and a better understanding of cargo securement regulations.
The company says the decision to host the webinar was based on an increasing number of U.S. states and Canadian provinces that have suspended truck weight restrictions to allow vehicles to deliver bigger loads of emergency supplies during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
Yet despite those changes, the company says it is important trucking professionals also remember the regulations for proper cargo securement remain unchanged.
“With many fleets running larger loads than they usually do, it’s critical to remember cargo securement regulations have not been lifted and that they need to take extra steps to ensure they are properly securing their freight,” says Roger Perlstein, vice president, sales and marketing. “They may need to inspect their current load securement to confirm that it is free of damage and defects, and to add additional cargo securement to both meet DOT requirements and ensure the emergency supplies they’re delivering get to the people who need them.”
Kinedyne says its webinar will be held at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, April 29. The webinar is offered to qualified trailer OEMs, dealerships, fleets and owner-operators as part of Kinedyne’s exclusive Cargo Securement Regulation Training Program.
The course will cover the latest cargo securement safety information, training best practices, performance criteria and industry standards to help participants meet roadcheck requirements of U.S. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA).
