How does proper load securement affect flatbed and specialized trucking jobs?

Answer:
Proper load securement directly affects safety, inspection outcomes, and earning potential in flatbed and specialized trucking. Drivers must understand DOT load securement rules, strap and chain requirements, and trailer-specific techniques. Strong securement habits reduce violations, protect freight, and help drivers qualify for higher-skill freight.
