Summary of Issue

Looking for guidance relating to the manner in which chilies are being loaded on flat bed vehicles in New Mexico. Pictures were sent and a description of a loading practice ivolving cables, webbing and angle iron. Does this comply with FMCSR 393.100?

Justification or Need

Should the vehicles be placed OOS if the securement system does not meet the FMCSR?
