Very true, once you get used to having surge, it will make a total stud shifter out of you, and a really smooth brake user.... However, I still keep a healthy respect for surge... I've known too many very good drivers experienced with it have bad things happen... Even a couple no longer with us.

You are a fool, I didn't say surge caused a steer to blow, I asked if you ever saw it and you haven't. But please keep the trucker tales coming, I don't drive for a living or anything, you can fool me.mje Thanks this. -

I'll just leave this here.
Obviously most rollovers involve excessive speed and/or running off the road and overcorrecting, but you must admit liquid movement makes these situations drastically more dangerous than with stationary cargo.
To downplay the potential danger of a load that is constantly in motion is asking for trouble. I'm not saying one needs to be terrified of it, but you've got to have a ton of respect for what it can do.
And I do know a driver who turned one over making a left turn from a dead stop. He was on a hill and the product moved just the right way at the right time to flop it on its side.Last edited by a moderator: May 9, 2015
