Rod Ehrlich, chief technology officer at Wabash National, says many shippers focus on load planning and distribution. Fred Jones keeps track of past loads to familiarize himself with how a similar product might be positioned on his trailer. Combined with regular equipment inspections and intelligent driving practices, careful weight placement also will maximize your payloads, reduce component costs and help you avoid overweight fines. Planning your cargo’s positioning lessens the likelihood of trailer wear and damage. They’re also capable of handling weight that is poorly distributed, though not indefinitely. Though most operators will never pull such a heavy load, today’s trailers can handle loads well above legal limits.
