Giving yourself that extra space cushion will become extremely important on some loads.

If you ever haul rolls of paper, the big, tall ones, you don't want to be in a position that you have to jam your brakes to try to stop.

Additionally, some loads shift easier than others. Beer and water come to mind pretty quickly. When those shift, they are not likely to come through the nose of the trailer and kill you, but I've been at receivers when when drivers have come in with a load of beer or a load of water shifted so bad they immediately reject the load.

Don't be in a position that you have to jam your brakes and take the curves (on the road or on the entrance/exit ramps) slow and smooth.

You won't have anywhere near as much damaged product if you heed this advice.

I can vouch for that one. Pallets of water are almost impossible to keep upright half the time so you don't wanna give them any help collapsing.
