Depends on a lot of things. Going to vary based on product and the truck. How many holes? Tare weight and axles? What kind of product?
Loading a pneumatic for the first time is always a guessing game and probably will lead to dumping some product. -
Super b, tandem truck, tri bridge, tandem pup. Cement. And it's loaded now just two opposite suggestions on the book and I load the one that's scratched out.Zeviander Thanks this.

You can always shift some weight forward (or backward) by driving forward (or backing up) and then slamming on the brakes.

Yes you can, but it's hard on equipment.

Unless the trailers are built with walls between the compartments.

Depends on the product, and only then it will shift at most 500-750 lbs. You also need a really steep hill to get a gravity assist.
I work with a pebbled limestone that stays perfectly stacked in the trailer. No matter what bumps you hit or hard brakes you do, it won't move until the bottom comes out of it. -
Ended up heavy on the pup, which I never am. Normally a little heavy on the truck, seems like a completely unbaffled trailer so it should even out
