Truckers must ensure their cargo is properly secured before heading out on their trip. Failure to properly secure cargo puts all other drivers at risk, especially if an accident occurs. There are actually a few different methods of securing cargo, as explained by Purdue University.

Bike racks and the risk of a crash
There are many hazards to watch out for on the road, such as reckless drivers who fail to stop when they are supposed to and those who operate a vehicle while they are intoxicated. Sometimes, less common risk factors can result in a crash, such as a driver who is trying to transport a bicycle (or some other object) on their bike racks. Sometimes, people may be careless or inexperienced, and they may not attach the bike to their vehicle properly, which can pose a serious risk to other vehicles that are on the road.
