How does improper loading affect cargo transportation?

Improper loading significantly impacts cargo transportation by increasing the risk of accidents. When cargo is loaded incorrectly, it can shift during transit, leading to instability and difficulty in handling the vehicle. This instability may cause drivers to lose control, resulting in mishaps such as rollovers, crashes, or cargo falling off the vehicle. Moreover, improperly secured loads can lead to damage not only to the cargo itself but also to the vehicle and other road users. Safe and proper loading techniques are vital to ensure that the weight is evenly distributed and secured correctly, allowing the vehicle to navigate safely and effectively on the roads.
