Duty to Secure Load - U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania

At the request of several clients who experience issues with customer loaded and sealed trailers - this case is important. Judge Rambo contrasted this case from previous load securement cases. The argument is that a shipper-loaded trailer does not place the same burden of load securement on the driver. However, the FMCSA regulations regarding load securement are completely on the driver and carrier. In spite of Judge Rambo's comments, we still see issues with USPS-loaded and sealed trailers where Postal Service employees do not properly secure rolling stock.
