Like other truck accidents, unsecured cargo, and lost load can cause death, serious injury, or property damage. The truck driver must inspect the load to ensure it is adequately secured and safe to travel. Before heading out on the road, inspect the load properly. As safety rules require, make sure the load or cargo is secure within 50 miles of beginning the trip. Make any necessary adjustments as needed.
