Mistakes will happen. If I were your employer and you had this happen, as long as you learned from it, we could move forward.

I see balsa wood. I see no air bags. (There are righteous bags that you can put onto a van load it WILL NOT MOVE.)
Having no seal in a dropped trailer before you got to it? TSK TSK TSK.
That's a flatbed covered wagon load. WTF is it doing in a van.
and so on so forth.
Driver, I feel for you and will pray for you. I hope you did not get canned for this. Whoever loaded that trailer did not do it right. I don't think your strap solution helped.
Im not your enemy or a bully. Im just me. And it's really hard being me without a good woman to keep me in line some days.Farmerbob1 Thanks this. -
Ouch. I don't know how heavy those fan units are, but the crates look cheap and flimsy. And they double stacked them. And they failed to use airbags to keep them from shifting. Straps can only do so much. You might have done a little better than that with straps, but I can't say for sure because I don't know what the load looked like when you strapped it.

This, too, shall pass.
Well, from my perspective, they shouldn't have been double stacked, with that flimsy excuse for wood. -
To the op edit out those pictures in the first post...... just in case.....can see signage inside trailer.
You never know if a rat might tell your company about the post......

Move on and Good luck.Last edited: Feb 19, 2018

100% driver fault. when you drive around curves too fast or brake too hard or turn too fast this will happen everytime.
