Built on 49 CFR Part 393, CargoPro walks you through a complete inspection checklist at the point of loading — before you ever leave the dock. **STOP VIOLATIONS BEFORE THEY START** Cargo securement violations carry fines up to $18,000 per incident and can put a truck out of service on the spot. CargoPro puts the exact federal requirements in your hands, specific to what you're hauling and how much it weighs. **11 CARGO TYPES COVERED** • General Freight (§393.100–114) • Flatbed — General (§393.100–114) • Metal Coils (§393.120) • Logs (§393.116) • Dressed Lumber (§393.118) • Paper Rolls (§393.122) • Heavy Equipment / Machinery (§393.130) • Automobiles & Light Trucks (§393.128) • Concrete Pipe (§393.124) • Intermodal Containers (§393.126) • Dry Bulk (§393.100) **WORKS OFFLINE — ALWAYS** All 49 CFR Part 393 rules are stored on-device.
