Cargo Securement

Properly secured flatbed cargo prevents items from shifting, spilling, blowing or falling from the vehicle. And that's critical. Proper load securement in dry vans is also a necessity to avoid lost dollars in damaged goods.

Compliance with federal cargo securement regulations is required on all types of commercial motor vehicles, and violations can have serious consequences under the Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) program.

J. J. Keller offers a large line of cargo securement products and services – from supplies and training programs to handbooks and consulting – designed specifically to help you ensure your dry van and flatbed cargo is secured and your drivers know how to secure it.
