How Unsecured Cargo Causes Truck Accidents

Although all cargo shifts to some extent while in route during accelerations, stops, or turns, it must be loaded in such a fashion that the weight is distributed evenly to reduce these shifts. Shifting cargo caused by improperly secured loads can result in serious accidents, injuries, and fatalities.

Furthermore, the cargo could be overweight, making it much more likely to shift or spill during transport, as well as resulting in braking and maneuvering difficulties.

Common causes of unsecured cargo include:

Improper or lack of tie-downs
Unstable stacking of the cargo
Imbalanced loads which can lead to rollover accidents
Cargo falling off the truck
Truck driver’s failure to check the load frequently during transport
