A system for tying a load down on a load deck. A plurality of tie-down assemblies are spaced at a plurality of locations along the side sills. Each assembly includes a first aperture in a vertical wall of one of the side sills; a belt router recessed at a first point beneath the deck and between the side sills, immediately adjacent and inward of the one side sill; a second aperture in the deck, above the belt router; a first belt winder mounted at a second point on the one side sill, below the first aperture; a second belt winder mounted at a third point on the other side sill in alignment with the first belt winder; and, a belt having one end secured to the first belt winder. To tie down a narrow load which does not project beyond the side sills, the belt's opposite end is extended through the first aperture and beneath the deck, around the belt router, through the second aperture and above the deck, over the load, and into engagement with the second belt winder. The belt is then be tensioned by winding it onto the first and second belt winders with the belt remaining flush against a top surface and at least one side surface of the load. The apertures and belt router are not needed to tie down a wide load which projects beyond the side sills; in such case, the belt's opposite end is extended over the load and into engagement with the second belt winder. The belt can then be tensioned by winding it onto the first and second belt winders with the belt remaining flush against a top surface and both opposed side surfaces of the load.
