CargoPro is the field-ready cargo securement compliance tool for professional truck drivers and fleet safety managers. 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. No cell signal needed to run a full inspection. Results sync to your fleet portal when you reconnect. **4-STEP INSPECTION FLOW** 1. Select your cargo type from 11 categories 2. Enter load weight and length — CargoPro calculates minimum tie-downs and Working Load Limit for you 3. Work through the checklist — each item shows the exact CFR regulation 4. Get a pass/fail result with a plain-English remediation list for any violations **THREE VIOLATION SEVERITY LEVELS** • OUT-OF-SERVICE (Critical) — truck cannot legally move until corrected • MAJOR — fines $3,500–$18,000, significant CSA points • MINOR — citation and CSA points **FLEET SAFETY DASHBOARD** Safety managers and carrier admins get a full fleet view: every driver's inspection records, compliance trends, and outstanding violations — all in one place. **PHOTO DOCUMENTATION** Photograph your load at departure. Photos are attached to the inspection record and synced to your fleet portal for dispute resolution. **COMPLETE INSPECTION HISTORY** Every inspection is saved locally and backed up to your carrier account. Your full compliance record travels with you. **BUILT FOR THE FIELD** Large tap targets, high-contrast industrial design, and a no-nonsense workflow designed for use in gloves, on a loading dock, in any weather.
