An improved cargo restraint attachment assembly for use with a platform trailer includes a body having an interior side and an exterior side opposite thereto. A first section is adjacent to the interior side and configured to attach the body to a loading deck of the platform trailer so that the body extends outwardly from and along at least a portion of a longitudinal edge of the loading deck. A second section is configured to selectively secure the cargo restraint device at a desired position with respect to the longitudinal edge. The assembly may secure at least one cargo restraint device at an angle with respect to a horizontal plane to minimize bending moment on the cargo restraint device from force applied thereto by engagement with a load on a loading deck of the platform trailer.
