When full truckloads of freight are near the maximum weight capacity, it is critical to make sure the weight is distributed properly. Just as importantly, make sure you are not hauling more than 44,000 lbs and that the center of gravity is low.
Sometimes, drivers get loaded poorly by the Shipper and can end up with too much weight on one axle or too many pallets on the nose. In situations like this, you need a dock door, forklift, and a little space to unload and fix the loading pattern. Transload Now warehouses specialize in helping distressed overweight truckloads get their weight down.
