Whenever semi-trucks overload or improperly secure loads in their trailers, the probability that the load will fall off or detach skyrockets. These lost loads can lead not only lead to serious damages and injuries, but also to the deaths of vehicle passengers.
Improperly securing a load is a misdemeanor offense. Besides jail time, the more serious risk is that these negligent drivers are creating dangerous situations for all nearby vehicles. Although most domestic truck drivers take all the necessary precautions when it comes to properly securing their trucks’ trailers, the problem is that even a single driver not showing this caution can cause a deadly trucking accident.
Furthermore, this truck driver’s negligence endangers not only the other drivers on the road, but also pedestrians. The risk is magnified on the highways where traffic is traveling at high rates of speed and the lost load will come barreling out of the trailer into your path and potentially into your windshield/window and/or force you to have to swerve potentially into another traffic lane. All of these instances are severely detrimental to your wellbeing and safety.
