Sheesh, that's a new one for me, loads "shifted" all the time. The company is banking on the fact, the load shifted because of an unsafe driving move, and I've never heard of such foolishness. I'm continually flabbergasted at the tactics of these companies pull, If it was me, they'd all be pricing dentures, but I'm an edgy type in those matters. I suppose one could go back to the load shift time, and see any driving issues, but that's a new low. I still think these companies do unscrupulous things to "get back" at the driver. Never used to be that way.

 

Guess there’s two trains of thought. A load isn’t going to move on its own without outside forces. I doubt this person was driving straight down the road and the load decided to move all by itself to the point it damaged the trailer. My opinion was formed by working for my old boss. He’d always say there’s no such thing as a shifting load. It was either loaded wrong to start with , not properly secured, or a combination of both.

 

Even livestock, standing on four feet, and despite all the lunch counter trucker tales, won’t “shift” without outside input of some kind.

 

Depends.
Was it a dry van, that was sealed and the driver had no access to secure the load.
Was it a flat deck and the driver was too lazy to secure the load with enough straps or chains.
Was it a liquid bulk tanker with no baffles and the driver made or had to make a sudden maneuver.

 

Pictures , how bad was it? Did it cause an overnight ticket?
