Tarp Your Load Initiative

Tarp Your Load
When hauling loads, make sure that items are properly
secured with tarps and tie downs
so that nothing flies out of the bed of your truck.
 

• Tarp and tie down trash,vegetation and other loads 
   to keep items secure.
• Litter and debris that falls out of truck beds is unsightly,
  can cause accidents and often ends up in local waterways.
  This threatens our environment and endangers marine life.
• It’s the law — California Vehicle Code 23114(a) and 23115(a)
  require loads to be properly secured.

Tips for Securing Your Load

• Put lighter weight items at the bottom
• Use tarps, bungee cords, netting straps or ropes
• Tie larger items directly to your vehicle
• Don’t overload your vehicle
