What should you do if your load shifts while driving?

If your load shifts while driving, it is crucial to pull over to a safe area and secure the load before continuing. A shifting load can significantly affect the stability and handling of the vehicle, potentially leading to dangerous situations such as loss of control or an accident. By stopping in a safe location, you can assess the situation, ensure that the load is properly secured, and prevent further shifts that could compromise safety during travel.

This approach not only ensures your safety and the safety of others on the road but also adheres to regulations and best practices for transporting goods. Ignoring the issue or trying to drive faster to regain control could exacerbate the problem, while hoping that the load stabilizes does not address the immediate danger posed by an unsecured load.
