For straps, look for cuts, fraying, or broken stitching. For chains, check for bent links, cracks, or corrosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can I use fewer tie-downs if I choose higher-strength ones?<\/strong><br>No. You still have to meet both the minimum number of tie-downs and the total WLL requirement. Strength alone doesn\u2019t replace proper distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the most common mistake in load securement?<\/strong><br>Running straps or chains over sharp edges without protection. It\u2019s one of the fastest ways to cause a failure during transit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do I always need a permit, even for small overages?<\/strong><br>Yes. There\u2019s no tolerance buffer.
