FOURTH EDITION SDDCTEA PAMPHLET 55-20
The cargo location number is the most exact location of a piece of cargo on the load.
When you get to the cargo description and type pack, enter as much information as is
needed to identify what is located there. The quantity column is the number of pieces
found at that cargo location. Remember:
1. Ensure that only the piece weight is entered in this column.
2. When adding up the total weight, multiply the number from the quantity column
by the quantity in the piece weight column.
This takes us to the lower left hand side of the form. The loaded vehicle weight is
computed by taking the empty weight of the vehicle and adding to it everything above the
red line. Everything that is below the red line will be removed at the mobilization site
and shipped by commercial transportation. The most important thing you must
remember about this entry is that the total weight must never exceed the rated capacity of
the vehicle. In the driver block, enter the driver's name or line/paragraph.
