The 89-inch high pallet weighing 8,225 pounds is the most effectively restrained with a full 463L net set because it is the lightest pallet with the lowest height. The net set is designed to secure and restrain items, and in this case, the lighter weight and lower height of the pallet make it easier to effectively secure using the net set. The taller and heavier pallets would require a stronger and more robust restraint system to ensure effective securing.Rate this question:

You are building a pallet destined for Aviano AB, Italy (AVB), and only have space for one more piece of cargo on the pallet. All of the available pieces have the same destination and transportation priority. Which two other factors will you use to consider which piece to build?
- A.
Movement indicator and SET.
- B.
Weight and system entry time (SET).
- C.
Movement indicator and type pack.
- D.
Aircraft fuselage station and movement indicator.
Correct Answer
A. Movement indicator and SET.Explanation
When building a pallet destined for Aviano AB, Italy, and having space for only one more piece of cargo, the two factors to consider are the movement indicator and system entry time (SET). The movement indicator helps determine the urgency and importance of the cargo, while the SET indicates the order in which the cargo entered the system. By considering both factors, one can prioritize the cargo that needs to be transported urgently and has been in the system for a longer time, ensuring efficient and timely delivery.Rate this question:

You must break down an originating pallet and individually weigh each piece of cargo if there is a difference of how many pounds between the documented and actual weight?
- A.
355.
- B.
150.
- C.
200.
- D.
100.
Correct Answer
B. 150.Explanation
If there is a difference of 150 pounds between the documented and actual weight of the cargo, it is necessary to break down the originating pallet and individually weigh each piece of cargo. This is done to accurately determine the weight of each item and identify any discrepancies. By weighing each piece individually, it becomes easier to identify the specific item or items that are contributing to the difference in weight.Rate this question:

When building multi-pallet trains, you may need to use dunnage to help distribute the weight evenly. The weight of the dunnage is annotated as what kind of weight?
- A.
Net.
- B.
Tare.
- C.
Gross plus.
- D.
Not annotated.
Correct Answer
B. Tare.Explanation
When building multi-pallet trains, dunnage is used to distribute weight evenly. The weight of the dunnage is annotated as "Tare" weight. Tare weight refers to the weight of the packaging or container that holds the goods, excluding the weight of the goods themselves. In this case, the weight of the dunnage is considered as part of the tare weight, which helps in accurately calculating the total weight of the shipment.Rate this question:

What must be considered when building a multi-pallet train?
- A.
Immigration clearance.
- B.
Supply of pallet covers.
- C.
Materials handling equipment (MHE) required to handle the pallet train.
- D.
Multi-pallets in back log.
Correct Answer
C. Materials handling equipment (MHE) required to handle the pallet train.Explanation
When building a multi-pallet train, it is important to consider the materials handling equipment (MHE) required to handle the train. This means ensuring that the necessary equipment, such as forklifts or pallet jacks, is available and suitable for the size and weight of the pallets. Without proper MHE, the efficient movement and transportation of the pallet train could be compromised, leading to delays and potential damage to the pallets and their contents. The other options listed, such as immigration clearance, supply of pallet covers, and multi-pallets in backlog, are not directly related to the construction or operation of the pallet train.Rate this question:

Who is responsible for weighing and marking each item with the correct gross weight and center of balance (C/B) point?
- A.
Load Planner.
- B.
Shipper.
- C.
Load master.
- D.
Joint Inspector.
Correct Answer
B. Shipper.Explanation
The shipper is responsible for weighing and marking each item with the correct gross weight and center of balance (C/B) point. This is because the shipper is the one who is in charge of preparing the items for shipment and ensuring that they are properly labeled and documented. The shipper is responsible for providing accurate information about the weight and balance of the items so that they can be loaded and transported safely. The load planner, load master, and joint inspector may also play a role in the process, but the ultimate responsibility lies with the shipper.Rate this question:

You received several shipments in for airlift; which one will you not mark with a center of balance (C/B)?
- A.
Single pallet.
- B.
Small piece of rolling stock weighing 500 pounds.
- C.
Shipment of pipes that are 13 feet long.
- D.
Three-pallet train.
Correct Answer
A. Single pallet.Explanation
The center of balance (C/B) is typically marked on shipments that have the potential to become unbalanced during transportation. In this case, the single pallet is the only item that does not have any specific characteristics that would affect its balance. The small piece of rolling stock, being a moving object, may have a different center of balance that needs to be marked. The shipment of pipes, being long and potentially unevenly distributed, may also require marking the C/B. The three-pallet train, being a larger and more complex shipment, may also need the C/B marked to ensure balance. Therefore, the single pallet is the only item that does not require marking the C/B.Rate this question:

If the shipper decides to remove cargo from a weighed and marked vehicle, what must be re-accomplished?
- A.
Remarking and reweighing.
- B.
Remarking and reaccomplishing Joint Inspection.
- C.
Reweighing and recomputing C/B.
- D.
Reweighing and reaccomplishing Joint Inspection.
Correct Answer
C. Reweighing and recomputing C/B.Explanation
If the shipper decides to remove cargo from a weighed and marked vehicle, the cargo must be reweighed to determine the new weight. Additionally, the shipper must recompute the weight and balance (C/B) of the vehicle to ensure that it is still within acceptable limits. This is necessary to maintain the safety and stability of the vehicle during transportation.Rate this question:
