Safety First: Efficient & Safe Trailer Loading for Waste Bales At Mid America Paper Recycling, ensuring safety and maximizing load weight are top priorities when handling recyclables. According to our Waste Audit Survey, many respondents don't use specific trailer safe-loading patterns —a practice that ensures not only safety but also helps avoid additional costs from underweight loads. Here are some essential tips on Safe Loading Pattern Procedures: ✔️ Stack bales squarely for safe off-loading and storage.   ✔️ Turn the last row of bales lengthwise to prevent shifting during transit.   ✔️ Limit the last row to two bales high to prevent toppling.   ✔️ Aim for 40,000 lbs to avoid underweight penalties.  Don Gaines, our CEO, reminds us, “Most mills require loads to weigh 40,000 lbs. Underweight loads incur fees quickly—hitting this target is essential.” When we follow proper procedures, we keep operators safe and ensure efficient transport. We can also provide training posters on safe loading patterns for your plant staff.
