Corrections

Quick Answer

Corrections are welcome, especially for outdated source links, overbroad rule summaries, unclear disclaimers, or cargo pages that need stronger review.

What to send

Send the page URL, the exact sentence or section, the source you believe should control, and a short explanation. A mailto link is used because the MVP does not run a backend form.

How to request a correction

Send corrections to editor@cargosecurement.com. Include the full URL of the page, the specific sentence or section that needs to change, the source you believe should control the topic, and a short explanation of the problem.

You do not need to rewrite the page. The most useful correction is a single clear statement: this sentence is wrong because this source says something different — here is the link. That gives us everything needed to review and update.

What makes a correction most useful

Corrections backed by a primary source — a specific eCFR section, a current FMCSA guidance document, or a federal register notice — are the most actionable. If the federal rule has been amended and the site reflects the old version, a link to the current eCFR text is all we need to start.

If the issue is not a regulatory change but an overly broad claim — for example, a page that implies a specific tiedown count applies to all loads when the rule has exceptions — describe the specific scenario where the claim breaks down and point to the part of the regulation that shows it.

Broken source links are also worth reporting. If an eCFR or FMCSA link is returning a 404 or pointing to an archived version, that is a useful correction even without a regulatory dispute.

What we do not need in a correction

Do not send confidential shipment files, claim packets, load photos with identifying information, customer records, or carrier settlement documents. Corrections are about site content accuracy, not about resolving a specific freight dispute.

Style preferences and formatting requests are lower priority than source accuracy and safety content. If the content is accurate and sourced, we may keep the wording even if a different style would also be valid.

We cannot respond to requests for compliance determinations, legal interpretations, or insurance opinions. If your question is really 'is my load compliant,' that is not something we can answer — see the disclaimer page.

Priority and timing

Corrections that involve safety-sensitive topics — specific tiedown methods, equipment ratings, commodity-specific requirements, or driver-duty rules — are reviewed before style and taxonomy corrections.

Source accuracy issues on indexable pages (those that appear in search results) receive priority over issues on noindex reference pages. If a page carries a disclaimer and is marked as a general educational reference, the correction may still be made but will be queued after higher-priority items.

We do not commit to response timelines, but safety-sensitive and source-accuracy corrections are typically reviewed within a few business days of receipt.

Possible outcomes

A correction can result in any of the following: a sentence or section being revised to match the current source, a source link being updated, a stronger limitation note being added, the page being narrowed to a general reference, the page being moved to noindex, or no change if the current wording is still supported by the cited source.

If a claim cannot be supported after review, it is removed or narrowed rather than left with a softened disclaimer. The goal is accuracy, not minimizing visible changes.

We do not publish a corrections log, but the last-reviewed date on the source list is updated whenever a substantive change is made.
