Abstract
Vehicles are secured to a carrier during shipment by application of a harness preferably comprised of textile webbing to each of the vehicle wheels. A tension member extending from each harness is connected to the deck of the carrier by an adjustable attachment means such as the type comprising a ratcheting spool. The harnesses engage only the inflated tires of the vehicle wheels and accordingly permit the vehicle suspension to react without restraint to irregular movement of the carrier.
