Short answer: Load the heaviest pieces low and secure them with chains or straps so that nothing shifts, stay within the vehicle's rated capacity, keep non-steel material out of the load, take photographs before it leaves and make sure the vehicle is weighed full and empty on a certified weighbridge so that the net weight on the ticket matches what you delivered.
