    Yeah man, that roll stock tore that trailer to pieces! I wonder how he did that? Amazon seems to be a player in more than just Amazon dedicated now, some weeks back i left an Aldi's DC and Amazon was coming in for delivery. I thought that was strange.

    Securement is a waste of time, those wood wedges should have held it.

    ThOse are rolls of newsprint. About 800 lbs each. Usually double stacked on their side and sudden movement can shift the load.
    I hauled newsprint early ‘90’s into US

    I’ve hauled those paper rolls too-some can weigh up to 1800 to 2000 pounds! The looks of the pictures looks like there was bad weather in the area(fog).
