Summary of Issue

FMCSR 393.128 - The "Driver's Handbook" states two tiedowns minimum at both the front and rear while the rule under (b)(1) just requires "a miniumum of two tiedowns."

Justification or Need

Clarification of the rule is needed for consistency. Was it the intent of the rule to require two tiedowns of both the front and rear as stated in the driver's handbook?

Request for Action

Provide clarification and an interpretation for this rule.
