Q: What is the FMCR's general rule when to use a belly wrap on bundled lumber secured to the trailer?
A: Greetings Heather,

The easiest way to respond to your question is to provide some Internet links that I believe should answer the question.

The Internet links are taken from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rules/regulations Part 393 and Subpart I, which governs the securing of cargo.


All Regulations
 Part 393

Subpart I - Protection against shifting and falling cargo
