Mark: I am not trying to be mean, just wanting to emphasize a point on highway safety. I have hauled some quite heavy loads in my day even heavy loads on pickups given their size. What a lot of people don't realize is that having that load balanced very very important no matter how large or small the equipment. I am on the road a lot and everyday see vehicles large and small, loaded in such a way they are little more than an accident looking for a place to happen. These vehicles can have passed all measures of safety inspection, yet if not loaded correctly they are a hazzard.

My apologies if I seemed a bit harsh, but this message is one that never seems to sink in on a lot of people. The story I told about the highway trailer in our safety meeting, even the highway safety personell present at that meeting, discussing why that trailer flipped taking the other trailer and tractor with it were at a loss as to why this happened. It was truckers with a few miles under their belts that had the answers. Every trucker out there at one time or another has pulled an off balance load. It will make you wish the day would end. Most experienced truckers never have this happen more than a couple of times. You soon learn to size up a load and correct if necessary before hitting the road. Tractors and equipment are the easy ones, you just pull over start the machine and move it on the trailer.
