Training and the requirement is based
on North American Cargo Securement Standard. If you
follow the Standard, you will be in compliance with
provincial rules and Federal regulations.
In the United States, the requirements
became effective: December 26, 2002 with January 1,
2004 as the deadline. For motor carriers to make sure
they are in compliance with the final rule (Docket

The Standard Applies to vehicles with
gross vehicle weight rating, or gross combination

Standard specifies how cargo carried by these vehicles
must be secured, and serves as basis of the training.
