Specialized Freight · Driver Training VideoAuto Transport / Car Hauling
Car hauling injuries mostly happen on the deck, and a bad tie-down means a car loose at highway speed. Drivers learn the two-tie-down minimum, frame anchoring, the half-weight working load limit rule, and clearance heights.

This freight talks back
Every vehicle on your trailer has wheels, a suspension, and a mind of its own if you don't secure it right. Get a tie-down wrong and it isn't a shifted pallet — it's a car swinging loose at highway speed, or a car dropping off a ramp onto the driver working under it.
Start with securement
Every vehicle needs a minimum of two direct tie-downs — chains or straps anchored to the frame or another solid structural point, never to a bumper, a suspension part, or anything that can bend or tear loose. Heavier units need more than two.
Check for movement in all four directions — forward, backward, sideways, and up and down. A car that can still bounce on its suspension during transport is not secure, even if it can't slide an inch.
Next, know your height before you leave the yard. A loaded double-deck car hauler rides tall, and it doesn't get shorter for a bridge that was built before your trailer existed.
Most injuries in this business don't happen at highway speed. They happen on the trailer deck — walking a car up a ramp, working a comealong, stepping between vehicles with six inches of clearance.
Your company standard: inspect every tie-down, ramp, and winch before you load — don't trust yesterday's equipment to still be good today. Use the correct number of tie-downs for the weight of the vehicle, anchored to a structural point, every single time.
Wind is the other driver in your cab. A tall, high-profile load catches crosswinds a flatbed never feels. Slow down before the bridge, before the pass, before the open stretch — not in the middle of the gust.
