A tension monitoring device that attaches or clamps onto to a tensioned cargo load securing strap and wirelessly communicates the tension level to the driver via a remote device, such as a mobile smartphone. One or more devices may be installed on a vehicle or trailer to be simultaneously monitoring the tension conditions during transit. The tension signal from the device is received and processed by the mobile smartphone application to display the real-time tension relative to unsafe levels and transmit alerts to the driver when an unsafe or undesired condition occurs. The tension monitoring device includes an electromechanical sensor and microprocessor, powered by a battery, and packaged inside two hinged weatherproof housings for the ability to clamp onto a tensioned cargo strap.
