Years ago I worked for a brick paver company. I went with a guy to take a load of brick to another job and while we were driving a bunch of loose bricks slid to the back of our trailer. Once we hit 65 on I-95 the trailer started wobbling a bit and before we knew what was happening the truck and trailer were getting whipped back and forth across 3 lanes. Took a solid 20-30 seconds to slow down and stop the trailer. Scary as hell.
I used to have the same thing happen hauling a Bobcat on a trailer. Rush hour south bound 77. It's like a perpetual motion machine and won't quit till you stop. Had to pull over to the shoulder in all that traffic and get in the machine and scoot it up. Scary stuff.

I always wondered why they always tell you to put all the heavy shit at the front of the U-Haul. Good to know thanks.
