How to prevent uneven cargo, is it my fault?

Where is your brother?

Maybe he needs to come here and learn about how to do his job right, don't want to see someone washed out because they are ignorant in how to do a good job.

 

Sounds like someone mashed on the binders,,,

 

As a driver it is your responsibility to make sure your rig and load is safe and secure before you start out. The fines suck and with presealed loads this crap is a constant headache. However there are some redflags in the OPs first post that I'm senseing the whole story is not being told. It don't really matter though. This fine most likely soon will be due and payable. Lesson learned!!

 

Generally speaking, sensible and proper driving style and not being caught off guard enroute will keep even poorly situated freight in place. That said though, there are bridge abutments today that can jostle freight, equipment, and driver in extreme fashion.

Poor driving style and technique? (Drive the truck like it's a Jeep) then all bets are off for freight being kept intact.

 

You the driver are responsible for that equipment that starts at the front bumper to the air flowing off the back, Not knowing how a trailer is loaded is insane, you can hit your first little curve and flip.

 

yeah that'd be nice if there was shared responsibility unfortunately yet again the simple truck driver has bare all responsibility so yeah check and double chech your load before you leave. Saves a lot of headaches later on.

 

Soon as you release the brakes it's all on the driver.
