Maximum load weight isn’t always as serious as the type of material being hauled or the means by which it has been loaded and secured to the trailer. A load that has not been properly secured or is unstable because of unbalanced weight can result in great difficulties keeping the rig under control or bringing it to a safe stop under emergency conditions. Loose products not adequately secured inside the closed trailer or tied down to a flatbed may be thrown, subjecting everyone in the area in immediate danger.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) oversees very strict regulations regarding load weight, balance and methods of securing the material or product. Any violation of the regulations can result in liability for paying injured parties substantial monetary damages related to the injuries or death of a loved one.
