(B) No person shall transport any sand, gravel, rock less than two inches in diameter or refuse in any vehicle on any hard-surfaced highway if the material protrudes above the sides of that part of the vehicle in which it is being transported unless the material is enclosed or completely covered with canvas or similar covering.
(C) No person shall drive or move a motor vehicle, trailer or semi-trailer upon any highway unless the cargo or contents carried by the motor vehicle, trailer or semi-trailer are properly distributed and adequately secured to prevent the falling of cargo or contents from the vehicle. The tailgate, doors, tarpaulins and any other equipment used in the operation of the motor vehicle, trailer or semi-trailer or in the distributing or securing of the cargo or contents carried by the motor vehicle, trailer or semi-trailer shall be secured to prevent cargo or contents falling from the vehicle.
