Which of the following is not a recommended practice for securing cargo?

Using only cargo nets is not a recommended practice for securing cargo because, while nets can provide a degree of security, they are often insufficient on their own. Cargo nets can allow for some movement of the cargo, especially if the load is not balanced correctly or if the cargo is heavy. Additionally, nets do not always provide the necessary tightness or stability to ensure that cargo remains secure during transit, particularly on rough roads or during sudden stops.

In contrast, ensuring even weight distribution, using multiple tie-downs, and securing against movement are all critical practices in cargo security. Proper weight distribution helps in maintaining vehicle stability and control. Using multiple tie-downs ensures that even if one tie-down fails, the cargo remains secured. Securing the cargo against movement prevents shifting during transit, which is essential for safe driving conditions. Together, these practices contribute to a much safer transport environment.
