Loading cargo
  • Precautions must be taken during the cargo loading process.
  • Wheel chocks are required for certain CMVs when parked at loading docks.

Precautions must be taken during the cargo loading process to ensure the vehicle does not move, cargo is properly placed on the vehicle, cargo is not damaged or overloaded, and lumping services are handled properly.

Wheel chocks

Wheel chocks, “wedges” placed against the wheels of a motor vehicle to prevent movement, are useful as a safety device and are required for certain commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) when parked at loading docks. In part, this applies to all general industry employers that use dockboards while loading and unloading transport vehicles. (29 CFR 1910.26) (29 USC 653) (49 CFR 393.41(b))
