A cargo load-lock is provided having a blocking member and a pair of braces. The cargo load-lock can be used to limit shifting of freight during shipping. In the first preferred embodiment, the blocking member is a rigid structure, such as a 2x4. The blocking member is secured to opposing trailer sidewalls by the two braces. A brace is positioned at opposite ends of the blocking member, and is then secured to the trailer. Each brace includes a base and a sleeve. The sleeve receives opposite ends of the blocking member. Opposite the sleeve, the base includes an adhesive which provides a bond between the brace and the sidewall. Once the braces are secured, the cargo load-lock is in place. No tools are required. To collapse the cargo loadlock, the blocking member is first removed. This can be accomplished by prying open a portion of the sleeve. This is facilitated by perforations which extend in a U-shaped design along the top of the sleeve. Once the sleeve is opened, the blocking member can be lifted from the brace. After the blocking member is removed, the brace can be peeled from the vehicle sidewalls. The brace can then be discarded, or collected and recycled.
