Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I don't know if i am responding to the right dept. if not, please pass this along thank you; i am requesting or asking; why can't the dot make a law that all freight trailers must be equiped with at least two load locks on every trailer. they could be stored in a bracket, one on each inside wall at the tail of a trailer. as a yard switcher, i have had near misses with product falling from trailers while opening the doors. i know not all loads need a load lock, that's why the lock could be stored in a bracket. it would just be an added safety equipment on a unit. i know some drivers have them, because they purchased them; it's a safety feature. i don't know why a trailer manufacturer hasn't done this already. if all trailers had to have them, the locks wouldn't be something a driver would have to purchase and keep track of. the driver would only need to be sure the trailer was equiped with them.
