On top of that, the aerodynamics of a trailer loaded with a tractor have probably never been studied. It could very well turn out that rear loading has a slight advantage. Who knows? If there WAS a finding of liability, the defendant should have gotten a better lawyer or expert witnesses. I suspect the fault lay in improper binding of the load. Orientation of the load seems like a weak case.
