What “Improper Loading” Means

Improper loading is cargo secured or distributed in violation of federal securement standards — overweight loads, unbalanced weight, unsecured freight — turning trailers into instability hazards: shifted loads cause rollovers and jackknifes; spilled cargo causes multi-vehicle chain reactions.

Why It Matters in Your Texas Case

Loading cases add defendants beyond the driver: the shipper who loaded, the carrier that accepted, the broker who arranged — each potentially liable, each with coverage. Proof lives in bills of lading, weight tickets, loading dock records, and post-crash cargo documentation, all of which McKay Law’s preservation demands target immediately. Federal securement regulations convert loading shortcuts into liability, and the firm’s trucking practice reads those regulations like a native language.
