YES! It is always important that you secure your load when ever you take one out on the road, regardless of what it is. You are responsible for what you are hauling. A big problem here in wisconsin is the semi drivers wont shovel off their trailers after a snow fall, and it will freeze. When they go to get on the freeway, it all slides towards the back of the semi and onto any car behind. This kind of thing can be deadly, unfortuantly alot of people dont think before they throw things in the back of a pick up truck, ect. If you are ever a victim in an incident like this, get the info, pull over and call the police unless you can catch up with them and try to work it out.
