bob-3000 ----------- Can see that you have NEVER carted anything AT ALL on a semi-trailer.
So what sort of weight is in each ball then ?
How solid are those rear doors and what sort of locking arrangement do they have ?
If all those balls started to roll backwards on a slope of a hill, then the rear doors would surely have to be a lot heavier that those flimsy rear doors.
I would refuse to carry such a dangerous load, UNLESS there was some sort of packaging/bracing to hold then securely in place, so they could NOT move AT ALL.
This would have to be an ON-SITE, move where a lot of corners are cut.

Cacophonous.
Sound track for a pagoda.
Evidence why jazz is not favored widely.
Would be hammers of largest imaginable but impossible ball mill; if solid.
Hollow? Fishing net floats? Obvious, retaining spherical shape isn't important.

Hollow Steel aluminum or beach balls, still does not negate the fact that driver was carrying an unsecured load, if those few balls were the only ones, he was hauling
Since we only got to see a partial load being unloaded with the flimsy door already open. My question was all to the rest of those balls in the trailer when it arrived and once the doors were opened, they were the first to roll off it? if that was the case which I suspect it was there would have been not only enough to fill the entire floor but have more than one stack above them. Making it less likely for there to be any movement. Perhaps the trailer was completely filled. like a watermelon wagon then there could have been no movement if stopping on a hill and starting off again or making a turn. If it were full and tarped with a few straps, then it would have considered a secured load.
Looking at them they appear to possibly be floatation balls for a large fishing net note the loops on each of them.
Never try to tell me it can't be done

No need for a personal attack...yes I HAVE loaded a semi AT ALL.
Seeing how they bounce slightly when they land and some of them dent in pretty significantly they don't appear to be very heavy.
At the end of the video the guys are kicking them like big tin soccer balls so there's that fact...
Sound track makes it unquestionably clear; they are not only hollow, but thin, less than 3/8" or 1/2".
There are grey striped stacks laying around I can't tell what they are, other than wire concrete reinforcement mats.
Remainder of material is separate piles of concrete rubble.
I'll bet they're pouring concrete into reusable steel forms; to build floating concrete barges.
Spheres take up volume, attachment lugs tie them into bottom of form, nets and rubble common as in any normal slab pour.

Years ago when I worked in law enforcement in another state, we had a guy hauling cracked and damaged bowling balls in a truck. We don't know what happened and he never stuck around but they got loose on the highway and caused a monumental wreck involving multitudes of cars. I remember the deputies rounding up the errant balls and bringing them in as evidence.
