When are cargo checks required to be conducted during a trip?

Once a day
Before the trip only
After every break taken while driving
Only at the end of the trip

The correct answer is: After every break taken while driving

Cargo checks are required after every break taken while driving to ensure that the load remains secure and properly balanced. This is crucial because shifts in cargo can occur during transit due to various factors such as braking or turns, which could lead to instability or even accidents if not addressed promptly. By conducting these checks after breaks, drivers can identify and rectify any issues with the load, ensuring safety for themselves and others on the road. This practice aligns with regulations emphasizing the importance of monitoring cargo throughout the journey rather than only at the beginning or end of the trip or on a less frequent schedule.
