How do you distribute weight on a truck?
You have to distribute the weight more or less evenly from front to back, but you can skew your figures a bit to load a little heavier in the middle and lighter at the front and rear. This helps distribute the weight a bit more evenly over the length of the trailer.
Heavier items should be loaded first, and lighter items can be placed on top and to the rear. Secure your cargo in place with rope or tie-downs. This will help protect your items as well as keep them from shifting during transit. Thanks for your question!
