Guidance: Yes, as long as the aggregate strength of the tie-downs is equal to the requirements of §393.102, and each article is secured.
Question 3: Are the requirements of §393.100 the only cargo securement requirements motor carriers must comply with?
Guidance: No. A motor carrier, when transporting cargo, must comply with all the applicable cargo securement requirements of subpart I and §392.9.
Yes. All Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV)s transporting cargo must comply with the applicable provisions of §393.100-393.106 (subpart I) to prevent the shifting or falling of cargo aboard the vehicle.
Sec. 393.100(d) states that the rules in §393.100 do not apply to the transportation of "one or more articles which, because of their size, shape, or weight, must be carried on special purpose vehicles or must be fastened by special methods." However, since pole trailers are explicitly included in §393.100(b)(2), they are not special purpose vehicles and logs must be secured in accordance with §393.100(b).
