What’s a live load?

Wheel Nut:
What’s a live load?

Dunno, but Stobbie drivers use that term regular! I thought it was livestock etc, loaded/unloaded itself!

Did it fall off the back of a lorry?

Think it’s anything that can move that can’t be secured…ie. liquid…stand to be corrected :question:

Me too, although my mate talks about it as a lot of people crossing a bridge or office floor on a tower block but she is a structural engineer. [emoji14]

Started to topple left, over corrected?

a live lad is something you cant keep vosa happy with when you have used 96 strap and it still cant be secured.
looks like he came off the slip at full by the load money speed .
should deffo go to 9 pages when tncsi pick it to bits…hang on,its the weekend…8 pages

I’m disappointed they haven’t shut the entire roundabout and the motorway above.

Live load is getting loaded with driver/unit there as opposed to just dropping off/picking up/swapping a trailer that is already loaded and waiting to he collected.

Essentially it’s a ■■■■■■■■ buzzword for somethingthats happened for years.

Looks like the A12 round on to the M25 good job it ain’t a weekday lol

Maybe what we called delivery on wheels.

I heard a Stobart Driver telling someone how he trained on live loads, pulling coke out of Wakefield [emoji23][emoji12]

Think that’s referring to the logistics buzz word of “live-loading”

Which means you roll up and they load the trailer you have straight away,and then you go.

When I first started to make enquiries as to how to re-instate my class 2 I did loads of research on the industry.
I was reading something about “live loads” down on the south coast.
I honestly thought they were talking about immigrants coming across in trailers. Yep really. :blush:

Ah wasn’t far off then [emoji23] either way glad it didn’t happen on a weekday :slight_smile:

I would call a liquid tanker that has no baffles or compartments a “live load” especially if it’s only half full

(or half empty which ever way you look at it)

Bombed it onto the roundabout from the entrance where that yellow box is and fell over immediately I reckon.

Yep that’s what live load would relate to me too, the other options would be drop n’ swap, or if your just dropping in an empty then it’s drop-off and [zb]-off :smiley:

I would call that more a “lively load” than a “live load” :laughing:
