stacked loads

Haven't had one yet. Don't think they occur too often, kinda like hazmat. You most likely will not ever see what is in your trailer unless you can watch them load it. All loads must be sealed with these guys.

 

I dont even notice a difference, but if you go fast around the corner and unload ur own trailer, you'll be sorry later. but yea they feel and handle about the same.

 

Most double stacked loads in a van are loaded tight. Many companies are even eliminating the second pallet. But as far as taking extra care? You should be taking extra care with all loads and drive accordingly to keep your freight claims to a minimum. But keep that high center of gravity in mind and freight loaded loosely.
Your real top heavy loads are the ones that hang from the ceiling like the old way of hauling whole beef or stuff like hanging clothes. My first job we hauled suits alot to dept stores. And they were all attached to ropes hung from the ceiling. Some 10,000 of them.
Drive at or below that yellow caution sign and you'll never have a problem.

 

You are so right about that last statement. I would even go as far as to say at least 5mph lower than what the sign says.

 

take it easy around the turns, i drive them for linehaul. also be careful if ur r pulling doubles the the kites top heavy, ive heard ppl making one turn regular and it flipping over since it was loaded more top heavy than bottom
