When transporting livestock, what should drivers be particularly concerned about?

When transporting livestock, the movement of animals within the vehicle can significantly affect the handling and stability of the trailer. As the livestock shift positions, their movement can cause the weight to shift, potentially leading to loss of control for the driver. This is particularly important when turning or stopping, as an unexpected shift in weight may result in swaying or tipping of the trailer. Ensuring that the animals are properly secured and that the load is balanced is crucial for safety during transport.

Concerns about fuel efficiency, passenger comfort, and aerodynamics are less critical in the context of transporting livestock. While these factors are important in other driving situations, the primary focus when moving animals should be on the stability and security of the load to prevent accidents and ensure the well-being of the livestock being transported.
