Load Shift Correction Needed in Savannah, GA
Tim’s Towing performed yet another load shift correction in Savannah, GA, in August. A tractor trailer was delivering metal sheets to the new Amazon packaging distribution center when disaster struck! As the driver took a corner on Pine Meadows Drive, the load shifted and sheets of metal began to fly out onto the road.
The driver immediately slammed on the brakes, causing the remaining metal sheets to slide forward, straight into the headache rack! The truck was now stuck in the middle of the road, unable to move left or right!
Priority Towing received the call and immediately sent out their load shift team. The load shift team used a rotator to slide the metal on the trailer back into place. They had also brought in a forklift on the back of one of their heavy duty rollbacks. They used the forklift to pick up the metal sheets from the road and place it back onto the trailer.
With all the metal back in place, the load shift team strapped it down to the trailer. Thankfully, no one was injured during this loadshift and the truck sustained no damage. With the load secure, the driver was able to complete his metal delivery to the nearby distribution center.
Our load shift team did an incredible job of clearing the road and correcting the load shift. Their decades of experience in the heavy towing industry was clear in their efficiency and professionalism. Keep up the good work team!
