So I had a load shift on me a couple days ago. I was hailing 8 bundles of real thin aluminum that was banded together. The load had certain spots to place straps which was wider than five feet. So I put my straps as tight as I can without damaging the load. When I was leaving the driveway the back end the load shifted and was hanging off the trailer..What will prime do about this?
possible load claim?

I wouldn't worry about the claim. If this is something that happens frequently or happend because you really failed to secure the load you might have problems. -
This the first time it happened to me

As long as it isn't damaged and you can still safely carry the load you should be ok. Your not gonna get a damage claim just because it shifted. Did the 01 put it back on for you?

I think a couple bundles got smashed

If your a lease they will hold $500 out of your settlement then. Don't know how company drivers work in that issue, but that's what's happens on the lease side of things.
