Loose D-ring in stake pocket on flatbed trucks is one of the primary attachments used for tensioning cargo. In Canada, flatbed trucks have become a common mode of transporting bulky and heavy goods like construction materials. Truckers use a D-ring made of high strength steel for flatbed trucks which can be stably placed in the stake pockets for the flatbed's D rings so they can endure the load when securing the cargo using ropes or straps. Likewise, the D ring's dimensions and form are kept as standard to enhance inter-compatibility with different securing devices. This geometry standard allows transport operators from various cultures to efficiently and safely transport cargo on extended haul routes, without any ambiguity pertaining to the use of different cultural tools and procedures.
