9. Why are false bulkheads sometimes necessary and typically beneficial for drivers transporting livestock?
A
False bulkheads are very useful for transporting livestock cargo. The bulkheads can separate the livestock's feces and urine from the inanimate cargo you are also carrying.
B
Because livestock can move around in a trailer, causing unsafe handling, false bulkheads can keep the livestock bunched together and potentially prevent unnecessary movement and loss of control in your tractor or trailer.
C
There is no reason to use bulkheads. It's actually quite dangerous for the animals.
D
False bulkheads can help muffle the sound of livestock, helping you be more aware of more important road noises around you.
