Why is it important to distribute cargo weight evenly across the length of a trailer, not just side to side?

Pick an answer

1. It only matters for refrigerated trailers, not dry freight
2. Weight concentrated too far forward or back can affect axle loading and how the vehicle handles and brakes
3. Front-to-back distribution only matters for appearance during loading
4. Axle loading only changes if the total cargo weight itself changes, not its position, which most training glosses over about side
