Nope,no red flag on the back of the container.

Nope excessive axle weight and insufficient axles. (and the mentioned red flag) and probably sanity check, it might have polar moment issues in 2.5 dimensions. Jim

40ft shipping container supposedly weighs 9250lbs so weight is fine.

Thqat makes the assumption there is nothing in the front 20% of the container to keep the front wheels on the pavement (ish) Jim

That is not even in the USA.
YT DOT does not have jurisdiction there.
Very minor compared to what most do in some foreign countries.

I hope you're joking. Would be quite easy for some fool to be texting and run into and under that container. Could make things real bad real fast. That's why semi trailers have such low rear bumpers now.
You can rest assured that the YT Department of Vehicle Load Enforcement will be looking into this one.
If it is determined that a violation has occurred the apprehension and impoundment team (pictured above) will take swift action. They will be then placed in jail.
Their jailer.
They will then be assigned a court date:
Followed by a trial by judge:

That was my first thought, they must of put something heavy in the front of the container to make it balance! My dad came home from the sawmill once, 4 miles on the state highway with a load of long lumber on a 48 IH K6 truck. When I got in it to move it I popped the clutch just a little, the front axle came off the ground!

And I thought it was bad to be near a school bus when it turns a corner.

Everything is hopefully over the axle or there's weight near the engine.

What country was he in? You see this stuff going on in some third world countries.
Kcm, there's people lobbying for
underride guards down the sides of the
trailers now. What really got it started
this last time was a teenager was driving
on a highway near where another road or
highway went over or under the one he was
driving on. He lost control of his car,
(summer time, dry conditions) was driving
pretty fast, slid up or down the
embankment (I think it was up), and it
was quite a ways too, and run underneath
a semi trailer that was perpendicular to
him on that cross road killing him.
Family sued the trucking company and won
a lot of money, even though it had
nothing to do with how the truck driver
was driving. Now the family is trying to
get the fmcsa to mandate side underride
guards on all trailers, stating that if
that truck had them on it, their son
would be alive. No, he would be alive he
hadn't been driving so fast and lost
control of his car, it was no fault of
the truck driver. I know they must hurt,
but to sue the trucking company is one
thing, and then say it was because the
trailers are unsafe? What if it was a
tree 100' off the road he had hit?

Might keep him from beating up the bottom of the container when it bumps the road.

But some yahoo can have a 4x4 pickup jacked 6 feet off the ground and no one says anything.

Well, it is on the left side of the road indicating it’s outside the US.

Don’t want to start anything here, but chloride in the tires would go a long way towards letting them do that safely and punishing them when leaks
develop.
