prevented from forward movement, what is the minimum number of indirect
tiedowns to use? - ANSWER 2 + 1 tiedown for every additional 10ft or part
thereof

side of the vehicle. - ANSWER 100% / 50%
17.How are tiedowns used to secure a row of metal coils with eyes vertical on a
flatbed vehicle with anchor points? - ANSWER At least one direct tiedown
against the front of the row of coils (to restrain against forward motion) and
at least one other direct tiedown against the rear of the row (to restrain
against rearward motion), making an angle of 45 degrees or less with the
floor. At least one indirect tiedown over the top of each coil or side by sire
row of coils (to restrain against vertical motion).
