If you have a good employment record l would think you'll still be employed. Might get chewed out though lol ln this day and age a few pics taken on your phone and sent to your dispatch
might have made your life a little easier now. On the other hand if they are looking for an excuse to get rid of you this could be it. Good luck.

Took a few curves a bit fast. No dunnage or bracing to keep the load from moving side to side.
Strap the front so it is pulling towards the front of the trailer. Check your book as it's Roehl policy for the driver that picks up a load to secure. AND to put a seal on it.48Packard Thanks this. -

Or skirting the north parts with I70. -
The shipper should have used those big plastic air bags along with cardboard dunnage to keep those in place.
austinmike, 4mer trucker, 1278PA and 1 other person Thank this. -
They make these in bigger sizes. Couple of these and some dunnage is all that load needed.
blairandgretchen, 4mer trucker and buddyd157 Thank this. -
Not having seen the cargo before you took off, let me make a suggestion or two.
When using straps such as these that utilize logistics rails (what you hook the ends into), there are times it pays to get a little creative in securing the load. Take a cue from flatbedding...like wrapping straps around the crating itself in several spots, reducing the chance of load shift. If possible, hook the straps into the rail one up from the rearmost edge of the load. Use an "X" pattern. Don't be afraid to experiment.
It appears you may have just gone the quick and easy route in strapping here, that is just laying two straps across the back to minimize the possibility of the load falling. But obviously it wasn't enough.
When you've got large items such as these fans, it's really pretty easy to concoct a method of securing the load so that this doesn't occur.Lonesome Thanks this. -
My FM just got back to me they are returning the load back to the shipper. They are working out some more details before I roll out to take it back.
My next question is I'm driving this back with the load shifted like this?
Gonna ask my FM when she calls.me back.Lonesome Thanks this. -
4mer trucker and 1278PA Thank this.
