When transporting a load, even the most secure tie-downs can loosen after you set off due to road vibrations or shifting weight. That’s why one of the most important trailer safety tips is to recheck the straps after you start the journey. Pull over safely after a few miles to inspect and tighten any loose straps or chains. This simple step can prevent cargo movement, reduce the risk of accidents, and keep the trailer stable on the road. A quick check early on can save you from major issues later — always make it part of your towing routine.
