A shifting load can cause an accident, delay, and requiring a load shift service means expensive downtime. Improper loading is the leading cause of a load shift. There are a few key things to avoid when loading your trailers or flatbeds. Preventing load shifts keeps drivers safe, trucks on the road and customers happy. It’s worth taking the extra time to ensure your cargo is loaded correctly.

In December 2021, a stolen vehicle was driven into Puget Sound. Tide Management Seattle PD contracted Team Pro-Tow to help with the water vehicle recovery. Fortunately, we were able to use a light-style rigging kit and spreader bar to hook up to the submerged vehicle. It was safely loaded onto a flatbed and towed away.
Fuel spills can happen anywhere and at any time, meaning a vehicle’s leak and spill could occur while parked or while on the road. Successful fuel spill recovery and cleanup involve a careful and efficient approach completed by trained professionals. Pro-Enviro is called to roadsides and fleet garages to complete fuel spill recovery.
Load shifts are dangerous and stressful events for truck drivers. They occur when the weight of the cargo shifts. In severe cases, they can cause the truck’s balance to tip and lead to an accident. Sometimes, cargo can be lost and needs cargo recovery and reloading.
