To show you how ignorant shippers can be. CMC foods in hot springs, ar accused our driver with over 20 years experience of being careless and slamming on the brakes to cause a significant load shift to bend this load bar. Claiming each pallet weighs 2800 pounds and there was 10 pallets on both sides of the load bar. This bar clips into the walls and is rated at 4,000 pounds before it becomes compromised. Mind you this is a load of liquid oil in 5 gallon jugs.
Just to show how ignorant they are plastic containers holding liquid during a load shift collapses and the contents will spill in the trailer. Not to mention if the load was to shift to the degree to compromise the bar. The walls are not rated to restrain 4,000 pounds. Meaning the wall track would be compromised before the bar would be. Yet there was only less then 5 gallons of oil spilled. 2 jugs. Yet they had the brains to tell the broker to put us on the do not haul list. IMO they did us justice
