If you have none, is it a DOT violation?

No way you’re skating’ by the weigh station without load locks. That’s a checkbook hit waiting’ to happen!

Better secure that freight or it’s a one-way ticket to fine

CFI only uses straps. You start with 4 and evatually have more than you'll ever need. Some of our bigger accounts require us to leave 2 straps. We will get 2 with the load.

I don't think it is a DOT violation. Some shippers will require them, before they let you drive away with their product. Some companies have a policy of requiring them, in addition to the door seal. Plus, it is just a really good idea, protecting you from any liability should your trailer get broken into, and you didn't have a load lock to prevent it from happening.

Load locks are bars placed in the trailer to help keep the cargo 'locked' in place. They are not actual locks. You are responsible to make sure the load is secure if possible. That may mean using load locks, straps, airbags, etc. Some loads dont require anything at all.

Next time your truck is in the shop, check with them and see if they have some spare load locks you can put on the rack on your truck. The rack if I am correct should hold 4 full size load locks.
