So i have some concerns. A ups double landed in a ditch this morning about 10 trucks in front of me. I had to hit my brakes pretty hard. As a result, i had load shift. Mt trailer is obviously tilted hard. I only have 26 small pallets. But its rolled steel with total weight of 43000lbs. My boss wants me to run it. I found a warehouse that can fix it but not until morn. As i hate sitting here.... i feel it is the safest option. I have sent her multiple photos and she still insists i run it. Input would be great! Thanks and drive safe all.

You did good finding a place where that load can be worked again and made safe. Don't YOU worry about it. You are doing exactly what I expect from those whose loads have shifted a bit.
I once used a large building wall to shift a unsteady load. I can still hear the teasing even today from others. Aww look at heavy doing the fornication on the building... things like that.
Don't worry. You display what I like best in a trucker. Being safe.ExOTR, JReding and Gearjammer78 Thank this. -

Unhook your tractor,tie a strap to your frame and pull the pallets to straighten your load,did it in a pilot last year

Yup that trailer needs to have it's load removed. I think due to the structural signs of breakage, you will want a new trailer brought to you and load into that.

Smart man. Don't haul that until it's fixed.
