loads shifting causing overwieght ticket

If that happened to me I would be curious to look inside when I delivered the load to see exactly what happened.

A guess would be that the front pallet was a single in the center with two across behind that.
You braked REALLY hard and half of each pallet in that second row fell forward.
Probably a bunch of other pallets had bags go flying forward as well.

Not sure just how hard you would have to apply the brakes to do that, though.

Your troubles may not be over.
When the receiver sees it, it might me a real mess to clean up.

 

My guess would be you either slammed on the brakes some where in the stop and go traffic and you didn't realize it, also, the floor in trailer must be pretty slick.

 

What kind of bags, retailers bag or those rice looking bags? What was your cat scale at the first one? Shifting 2k is alot, I believe it's 2k each pallet? Meaning atleast 2 pallets been layover. But that's kinda impossible if they loaded it 2-1-2-1, atleast thr pallet in front had support...so idk open it up..... you much had slam it so hard the whole thing shifted.

 

If you verified at cat scale before that take it to court if the load didn't shift. However some customer sales are off, but you verified. However sometimes weight station scales are off too, such as in tennesee for a while I would be 32k on my tandems but it showed 35,400... Thinking I'm being pulled over Id get the green light. If the load didn't shift, call CAT md fight that ticket. If it did shift, well it's a lesson learned.

 

That would be the only explanation

 

Bypass the scales every time.

 

You can make things move that way, but you would have to be totally oblivious to not feel it when it happens. 2000lb is a lot of weight
