Question 7433
How must the load you are carrying in a van be placed?
- Anywhere, as long as it is accessible so you can pick it up with your hands.
- Evenly distributed between the two axles, placing the heaviest objects on the interior load floor.
- Anywhere in the rear area intended for the load.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Evenly distributed between the two axles, placing the heaviest objects on the interior load floor.
In a van, distribute the load evenly between the two axles and put the heaviest items down low, on the cargo floor. Then secure it, for example with straps, like the toolboxes in the image. Putting it just anywhere, even in the cargo area, can throw the van off balance during braking and on curves.
