That ludicrously out of balance and ill-secured load was inevitably going to cause mayhem.
Going by the posts of newspaper reports (by notcom) this company was a disaster area.
Curious how reports of those times included the full address of people mentioned in the article.

This wasn't their first accident of the year (01/20/14)

or even their second (09/16/14)

Indeed, with primitive brakes and lumbering vehicles - in every meaning of that term - one would have to think mishaps were fairly common (and perhaps explains why the October incident doesn't seem to have received coverage).
