I was going down the freeway and noticed full sheets of drywall on the deck... got up a little farther and saw one of the sheets levitate right out of the pickup box like nothing and then bam...

Guess aerodynamics in action.

Saw the same thing, right in front of me, except a sheet of plywood from a trailer.

Had a drywall cart fall off a truck in front of me once, going south on rt 15 just below the potomac river where the road is narrow and no shoulders.

Sorry, no pictures! While coming home today I came upon a huge log, 1 1/2-2 ft in diameter by 8 ft long laying beside the road. 1/4 of a mile down the road was a young man standing beside a dump truck talking on his phone as he paced. Inside the bed of the truck was the rest of the tree with the logs loaded in such a manner that they could roll out the back over the tailgate.

A change of underclothes and maybe a washout of the cab. (we drive on the left)

Looks like he had the load well secured.

One of the benefits of electric trailer brakes is being able to quickly quell trailer sway... I had a livestock trailer that started on a downhill after going over a bump... a quick application of the trailer brake straightened the rig up instantly.
