How many tiedowns are required for the transportation of logs on pole trailers with trip-bolsters or other stanchions?
The regulations do not specify a minimum number of tiedowns. Part 393.100(b) 49 CFR provides motor carriers with several options for complying with Part 393.100 49 CFR. Although Option B specifically addresses the use of tiedowns for each 10 linear feet of lading or fraction thereof (with certain exceptions), Option D indicates the motor carrier may use other means which are similar to, and at least as effective as Options A, B, and C. Therefore, the trip-bolsters or other stanchions, in conjunction with securement devices meeting the requirements of Part 393.102 49 CFR, may (depending on the amount by which the logs exceed the length of the trailer) be used to satisfy Option D.
