Trucking hazards aren’t always about bad weather or tough road conditions—sometimes, they stem from something as preventable as improper load securement. When cargo isn’t strapped down correctly, it can shift dramatically, posing serious risks. Knowing which tie-downs to use and how to secure your load properly can make all the difference.
Imagine a truck taking a sharp turn too fast, its cargo dangerously off-balance, or a flatbed carrying an oversized load that isn’t centered. Even with tie-downs in place, improper placement can lead to disaster. Poor load securement doesn’t just threaten the driver’s safety; it endangers everyone on the road.
At Big Rig Towing & Recovery, we’ve seen it all. One recent incident involved a massive rig whose load shifted mid-transport, leaving the driver stranded. Thanks to our advanced equipment and experienced team, we were able to recover the vehicle safely and efficiently.
