It's a weird feeling when you're coming to a stop sign on a slight down grade and it looks like you may not stop, so you give it a little more brake pressure. Suddenly you are stopping quicker because that pallet of cement is holding your wheels to the ground but it isn't stopping, just the truck is slowing down. Then suddenly it feels you have been rear ended but it's just that pallet sliding into the front of the bed pushing it into the backside of the cab! I didn't want to go into the intersection as it is 2 lanes cross traffic and as the CHP is always coming down that road so with my luck I would have done it right in front of them.
