    Any type of live stock is a "Live Load". Hauling Ammo is a live load, Hauling my old Travel Agent "Smammu" in a tank is a Live load. A live Bed is a trailer with a conveyor belt that will eject the product out of the rear of the trailer. Has it's own power unit, engine. Hope that helped.

    The true definition of "Live Load" is loading the truck while the driver is in it. You get a message on your qualcomm that says "live load" that just means they will load you when you get there. The opposite of that is a pre-load. (not dead load) So you either will have a "live load" or a "preload".

    The other guys are either yanking your chain or don't know what a real live load is.

    A live load is having a trailer full of " undocumented guest workers".

    Live load means whatever youre hauling is living. For example I just bumped the dock at a pet store distribution center. Shipment called for 1 order, 50,000 grasshoppers. So I opened the trailer doors, bumped the dock, and we have to chase all the grasshoppers into the trailer. Shut doors and get down the road.
