- Unless the vehicle is constructed or loaded to prevent any of its load from dropping, sifting, leaking, or otherwise escaping; and
- If the vehicle is loaded with sand, gravel, loam, dirt, stone, rubbish, or debris that could fall on other vehicles or on the highway and create litter or potential hazards to other vehicles, the load must be fully and adequately covered.
This requirement does not apply to:
