I work in party rental and that was a big thing they would drill into the heads of the drivers. I think they called it either ‘flux” or “surge” or something like that. When you have 500 8’ tables standing on end they can shift right and left with each turn, and it’s essentially like carrying a large load of liquid, without the forward and backwards inertia. You take a corner too fast and it feels like the giant box truck is gonna flip.
