- Liquid cargo—Cargo such as water, gasoline, and other liquids is transported in tanker trucks. If there is too little liquid cargo, it can slosh around and throw the tanker trailer off balance.
- Oversized cargo—Large pieces of cargo such as construction equipment, logs, or even homes are usually carried on flatbed trailers. In an accident, this cargo can come loose and cause even more damage than the truck alone.
- Regular cargo—Common cargo in trailers, such as food, boxes, or other household items, can shift and throw the trailer off balance if it is not loaded or secured properly in the trailer.
