A ladder-securing assembly for a vehicle, comprising:

• a bracket configured with a square U-shaped cross-sectional profile and a lateral width sized to accommodate a width of at least one rung of a standard ladder, the bracket comprising:
• a top surface configured with top side retention holes to respectively receive retention pins inserted therethrough;
• a bottom surface configured with bottom side retention holes to respectively receive the retention pins inserted therethrough and attachment holes to respectively accommodate bolts for fixedly attaching the bracket to a plane surface of the vehicle, wherein the bottom surface is planar with the plane surface of the vehicle, and wherein the retention pins comprise a disk-shaped head disposed on an upper end of the retention pins, the disk-shaped head configured with a fastening hole therethrough, and a rod body configured to be inserted through the top side and bottom side retention holes of the bracket;
• a spacing arranged between the top and bottom surfaces and spanning across the lateral width of the bracket, the spacing configured to slidably receive the at least one rung of the standard ladder;
• and
• a retention pin structure containing retention pin holders configured to releasably lock the retention pins inserted through the top side and bottom side retention holes of the bracket to secure the at least one rung in place, wherein the retention pin holders have a square U-shape configuration containing first and second leg members, and wherein the retention pin holders comprise:
• a first eyelet clip disposed on an end of the first leg member and configured to be inserted into the fastening hole of the disk-shaped head to enable the retention pin holder to hingedly rotate about an axis of the fastening hole, and
• a second eyelet clip disposed on an end of the second leg member and configured to receive a distal end of the rod body therethrough.
