Abstract: A rail member is supported longitudinally along both sides of the deck of a truck or trailer and includes a plurality of strap hook anchoring locations at spaced positions therein. Each anchoring location is defined by a pair of hook opening extending downwardly through an upper flange of the rail member. Cargo securing straps or chains are anchored onto the respective anchoring locations using an anchor member having an upper body portion defining a tie-down opening and a pair of lower hooks which can be hooked into the pair of hook openings of a selected anchoring location. The upper body portions spans between the two hook openings so as to prevent passage of the upper body portion through the hook openings while the cargo straps or chains remain slack.
