Load securement apparatus, system, and method

A system for securing a plurality of freight items for shipment in a transportation vehicle comprising:

• one or more pallets onto which the freight can be loaded, each pallet defining an open space enveloping a perimeter defined by an outer surface of the freight items loaded onto each pallet;
• at least one shroud each having at least four walls defining an interior space disposed over at least one pallet, wherein the interior space accommodates one or more of the plurality of freight items loaded onto said pallet and the walls have a thickness to fill the open space and the shroud is wrapped around the freight items loaded on the pallet;
• the shroud defining a lap joint which allows a first wall and a fourth wall of the shroud to be connected to form the interior space of the shroud;
• and,
• wherein the first wall and the fourth wall are connected after the shroud is wrapped around the freight items loaded on the pallet.
