A method is provided of monitoring a tension in a strap secured about a cargo item on a vehicle. The method includes removably attaching at least a first sensor to the strap, the first sensor capable of determining a relative position of the first sensor and to transmit data relating to said first relative position. Relative position is sensed of at least a second sensor operable to determine a relative position of the second sensor. A position of the first and second sensors relative to one another is compared to monitor a change in position of the first and second sensors relative to one another to monitor a change in tension of the strap.
