How should a load be placed in a truck?

How should a load be placed in a truck?
Explanation

Correct answer: In a way, so that it does not affect the stability of the vehicle and does not obstruct driving.

In accordance with the provisions of the Road Traffic Act, a load must be placed on a vehicle in a manner that ensures its stability and does not impede steering. Improper positioning of the load, for example, by distributing its mass unevenly or placing the centre of gravity too high, creates a risk of losing control of the vehicle. This is a fundamental condition for safe transport and for not creating a hazard in road traffic.
