Secure Your Load

Big Rig Towing Calgary Rig Towing Roll OverThe risks in trucking don’t always come from poor road conditions or harsh weather. Sometimes, it’s as simple as not properly securing your load. We’ve all seen it: a big rig trying to navigate a tight corner with an oversized load that looks like it’s going to tip over, or a flat deck trailer with cargo wider than the truck, off-center and looking unstable.

Securing a load isn’t just about tying it down. If the load isn’t positioned correctly from the start, no amount of straps or chains will prevent potential problems. Shifting loads can cause major issues, from damaging the cargo to destabilizing the truck, increasing the risk of accidents.

At Big Rig Towing, we recently handled a situation where a 65,000-pound steel coil had shifted on its trailer during transport. Moving that much weight safely required precision and expertise. We lifted the coil from its deck and transferred it to another trailer, ensuring both the load and truck remained stable. It’s a reminder of how important it is to secure loads properly before hitting the road.
