En route cargo securement inspections
['Cargo loading and securement']

After the start of a trip, truck drivers must make sure that their cargo remains secured. They must do this within 50 miles of the start of the trip (within the first 25 miles is recommended), and then again:
- Whenever they make a change of duty status;
- After driving for three hours; or
- After driving for 150 miles, whichever occurs first.
This en-route inspection is not required for a sealed load that is not to be opened, or if checking the cargo is impracticable.
