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.

Was driving 65 mph on the interstate truck in front of me slammed on their brakes and I was using adaptive cruise control so it slammed on the truck brakes and the load shifted and damaged the side of the trailer.

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.

Yes it was a dry van.

That is your problem. If the cms is tracking ANYTHING, cruise control should be off. Don't give it a chance to freak out.

Minimum safe following distance is 7 seconds. Most cms/adaptive cruise holds a 4 seconds gap. They are designed to give a driver an extra second to respond. They are not designed to maintain a driver's safe following distance. I teach my guys that if they have traffic within 14 seconds, cruise should be off and they should be running the fuel pedal.

Either way I was fired and am having trouble finding a company that will hire me with that safety incident reported on my record. They all say I need at least 6 months of clean driving without incidents.
