PICKUP BED TIE-DOWNS — HOW MANY STRAPS YOU NEED
Anything loose in an open bed can shift, and anything that shifts can leave it. Tell us roughly what you are hauling and how heavy for the number of straps that will hold it, with no regulations to read.
Pickup Bed Strap Calculator — Are Your Tie-Downs DOT Legal?
A pickup bed is cargo space — and that cargo has legal securement requirements the moment it’s on a public road.
Enter your cargo weight and type. The calculator applies FMCSA §393.106 to return the minimum strap count and WLL for your pickup bed load.
Pickup cargo violations are issued by DOT inspectors and state troopers. Debris ejected from pickup beds kills over 500 people a year in the US.
Pickup truck owners, tradespeople, and weekend haulers on public roads.
