Car written test: Cargo Loading (Preventing Falls or Leaks)

This category tests size limits for loading trucks and the carriage of dangerous goods. The load may not be wider than the vehicle body, and a box truck's load may not extend beyond the cargo box in length or width. When loading goods that a frame-type cargo box cannot hold, the load may extend backward no more than 30% of the vehicle's overall length. When carrying dangerous goods, hang cloth triangular red flags at the front and rear of the vehicle, and if you find a leak or seepage, stop at once and deal with it properly.
