What is the main purpose of using load straps and nets during cargo transport?

The primary purpose of using load straps and nets during cargo transport is to secure the cargo and prevent it from shifting during transit. This is crucial for maintaining stability and safety, both for the vehicle and for other road users. Properly secured cargo minimizes the risk of accidents caused by shifting loads, which can lead to loss of control, damage to the cargo, or spills that may cause injuries or hazardous situations on the road.

While keeping cargo organized and enhancing the appearance of the vehicle are beneficial aspects, they are not the main objectives of using these securing devices. Similarly, preventing water damage can be important for certain types of cargo but is not the primary function of load straps and nets, which are specifically designed to secure the load in place.
