What is ND's tarping law and what should I do if I see a vehicle with an unsecured load?

ND's Tarping Law is in ND Century Code 39-21-44.1: "No vehicle may be driven or moved on any highway unless it is so constructed or loaded as to prevent its contents from dropping, sifting, leaking, or otherwise escaping therefrom, except that sand may be dropped for the purpose of securing traction, or water or other substance may be sprinkled on a roadway in cleaning or maintaining the roadway". 

NOTE: Damage caused from a vehicle's tire kicking up a rock is not reportable.

If a load is not properly secured, contact State Radio's non-emergency number 701-328-9921. If possible, provide information to include location, vehicle description, and license plate number.
