§ 75.53 SHIFTING LOAD; LOOSE LOADS.
   (A)   In addition to any other lawful requirements of load distribution, no person shall operate any vehicle on a street or highway unless the vehicle is so laden as to prevent its contents from shifting or otherwise unbalancing the vehicle to an extent as to interfere with the safe operation of the same.
   (B)   No motor vehicle or trailer shall be driven unless the tailboard or tailgate, tarpaulins, chains (except ground or contact chains), ropes, stakes, poles, and the like, or any part of the load, are securely fastened to prevent dangling, flapping, swinging, or falling from the side, end, or top of the load or body. All projecting cargo shall be properly guarded by a red flag or cloth or a red light or lantern as required by § 75.08.
